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.
