Le Cercle Rouge - (Jean-Pierre Melville;1970;France/Italy)
One man escapes going to prison the same day a man is released, they team up with an alcoholic ex-cop to pull off a jewelry heist.
Like Le Samourai, this is an excellent Neo-Noir crime film that is very taut. The cast is great, especially Delon. It's meticulous direction injects that cool feeling to the characters that also made Le Samourai the film it is. It's films like these we need today crime-wise. The heist scene is among the great scenes in cinema.
