    Although it seems a bit deliberate and illogical in some places, it is still a good gang movie. The rhythm of the whole film is not too fast or too slow, just right. The idea of ​​hijacking the plane and stopping on the highway should be considered bold and novel at the time, but the special effects are too fake. There are many interspersed with Morricone's somewhat ironic soundtrack and the old-fashioned troubled passages, which set the tone of the film black, and the ending is of course...

    3.5 stars, it's a woman's bad thing again, there is a knife on the head of the color word. One thing is very strange. It stands to reason that the character Delong in the play should have a shot after the hijacking case ended. After all, letting such a person live will definitely cause trouble. In the end, Gaban can also fly when the incident happens. Going to New York to clean up the door, why is it not asking for trouble to lure Delon back to Paris? . . PS director Vinier has an airport...

    An outstanding theft movie must be in line with the wisdom and courage of both the police and the gang to be able to do their best. From the actual historical experience, we know that the police are by no means useless and ignorant, and the robbers are even more intelligent and brave. The plane was supposed to land at the New York airport but deviates from the runway. There is no chance that it will be hijacked like an evaporation. Due to the director's various one-sided tactics, the whole film...

    Walking calmly to commit a crime is like drinking tea and drinking tea at a slow pace, collecting a lot of details, anecdotes, foreshadowing, character relationships, and more than failures.

How many crime films can you...

    A masterpiece of thieves film between "The Lone Killer" and "The Red Circle", Jean Gabon, Alain Delon and Lino Ventura, the historic meeting of French film noir, a joke in the cold , hides the ruthlessness in the joke, the director of this film, Vinier, can be said to be the French version of John Frankheimer in both narrative and...

    The debut of Alain Delon and Lino Ventura is worth the "return price". The pace of the French filming is really unhurried. What's interesting is that Delong complains in the film that he looks unsuitable for this business (criminal industry), hahaha is too funny. I'm a big man with a crazy face, and there is no one who watches Delong the whole...

    Another collaboration between Alain and Jean Valjean. It's quite suitable to play a gangster, no matter how you look at it, he is handsome. The other is not very good at playing the head of the Sicilian gangster. In the end, they were all arrested because of their...

    From the beginning of the prison break to the decision to hijack the scene, it's a bit of a joke. Btw: the settings of some small details are great (prostitutes, brothers and sisters,...

    very good. The jailbreak in the front is not bad, and the robbery of jewelry in the back is not bad. Due to the strict access control, the stealing of treasures was changed to hijacking during transportation. It was rare and fascinating to have this film in the 1960s. When Alan is old, he will disappear from the crowd, and as expected, beauties are not allowed to see their white heads. Italy attaches the same importance to family ethics and family as the Chinese, and the openness of foreign...
