Le Samourai** A french movie about a contract killer and his ethics. An interesting and tense drama that has shades of Hitchcock, Coppola's Conversation and French Connection. That is just a lazy way to describe it, as it obviously does not draw inspiration from the latter mentioned movies. Nice music and use of colors. However, its attempts to draw a parallel with a Samurai's ethics is very weak and ultimately the low point of the movie.
I agree. I remember when Don Vercetti used to roam these parts I believe this was his favorite movie. I've only seen it once and while I remember liking it, it wasn't that impressive. I think I'm due for another visit however
