Sale temps pour les mouches

The film constructs its detective plot by relying on the dynamic duo at its core, whose chemistry stems from a clash of wits and brute force. It explores the atmosphere of 60s France as a willing accomplice to the action, where spy intrigue merges with a crime saga.

What lingers after viewing is the energy of a genre hybrid, where a tense investigation is punctuated by sharp jokes and grotesque characters. It feels like a stylish, slightly roguish adventure film of its era. — MovieFinder Editorial
