Le Cercle Rouge - (Melville;1970;France/Italy) - ****
Two criminals, one released and another escaped join with an alcoholic ex-cop to plan a jewelry heist.
Very easily could've been better then Le Samourai, although as a thriller it's just a little bit less effective then the other. Still, this is an excellent film that is among the best crime films ever. The cast is top notch from Delon to Volonte and Montand. The music and gritty cinematography give the film a wonderful atmosphere. A must-see for any fan of Tarantino or Mann.
