This is a mix of the crime and action genres that even manages to work a little gialli flavor into the formula. A number of important people have been turning up dead (one of the early murders is a splashy decapitation on a railway) and Luc Merenda is the investigator in charge of finding out why. The more he digs the more frightening the truth becomes, but knowledge sometimes comes with a very high price. Massive action scenes highlight this slightly paranoid and cynical story about political terrorism and a seemingly unstoppable phantom organization. And what a climax! It’s a very rare but exceptional film!
