    My first Duvivier and Gabin. I couldn't believe how good everything about this film is. Gabin is absolutely amazing and has such a vast presence on the screen without even really doing much, he reminds me of De Niro or Pesci in the way that when you watch him you never even consider that he's an actor rather than just actually being the character. All the other performances are great too and the film's characterisation is excellent, each character feels unique and thought out no matter how minor they are. The direction is great, as is the editing and writing, I love the little scenes where minor characters have their moment like when the lady is listening to herself sing on the phonograph. An exceptional film 5/5

The mysterious murder of a US senator bearing the distinctive trademark of the legendary Soviet assassin 'Cassius', forces retired CIA operative, Paul Shepherson to team with rookie FBI agent, Ben Geary to solve the crime. Having spent his career chasing Cassius, Shepherdson is convinced his nemesis is long dead, but is pushed to take on the case by his former supervisor, Tom Highland. Geary, who wrote his Master's thesis on Shepherdson's pursuit of the Soviet killer, is certain that Cassius has resurfaced.
