★★★★☆ (4/5)
Leclercq’s direction is deliberately suffocating. He keeps the camera tight on faces—the twitch of an eye, the tremor in a hand holding a pistol. The action is not balletic; it is clumsy, deafening, and usually accidental. This is a heist where the only thing more dangerous than the thieves is the situation itself. Beyond the action, the series functions as a fascinating period piece. The 1970s setting isn’t just for the vintage cars and brown suits. It is essential to the plot. France was still reeling from the post-war economic boom’s hangover, grappling with rising crime and political extremism.
You need high-octane car chases, a happy ending, or clear good guys and bad guys.
