About This Movie

Un tueur, un flic, ainsi soit-il... is a fascinating snapshot of 1970s French crime cinema. The film weaves a gritty narrative that doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of its characters’ lives, creating a thick atmosphere of moral ambiguity. You can feel the tension build slowly, almost methodically, as the story unfolds, pulling you into the world of its flawed protagonists. The practical effects, while not over the top, add an authentic layer to the violence depicted, grounding it in a stark reality. It’s got this rawness to it that feels very much of its time, and the performances are sincere, capturing a range of emotions that make the watch worthwhile without the bells and whistles.

Finding original prints of Un tueur, un flic, ainsi soit-il... can be a bit of a hunt, as it hasn’t seen much reissue attention over the years.
