Before the era of choppy nerve-wracking editing, before there was a John Williams to make the simplest scenes exciting, before mercenaries in movies delivered more muscle than brain-work ... there was this slow, engaging police procedural, based on Frederick Forsyth's bestseller, and directed by one of the best filmmakers of its time, about a fictional attempt on Charles De Gaulle's life. No, don't say it's an old movie. This was the foundation upon which the best spy thrillers today are made. Give yourself a chance to be mesmerized with proper film-making.
