Le Choix des armes (1981)



A gangster retires to the countryside after living a full life of traditional crime, but after settling into his new residence with his wife, his home is invaded by an unruly punk with some newideas about the way crime should work.

An otherwise unoriginal crime story is slowly drawn out and achieves some depth by intelligent direction and excellent performances.

Halliwell*: "Interesting but too-leisurely account of people unable to escape their past."

Maltin***: "Well-directed drama...Good performances by excellent cast, especially Depardieu."
