Beautiful setting in Marseille in the 1970s. Beautiful cars. Beautiful people. This movie does not delve into the sad and depressing elements seen in Casino and Scarface, so it could be criticized as lacking realism. For me, this movie is the 70s without the stagflation and the horrible avocado-green kitchen appliances. I don't even think we see any shag carpet. Visually, this movie is unsurpassed, the plot moves along smartly with a few shootouts but not very much tension. The men wear suits and look like adults. Every frame is beautiful. No fat slobs with tattoos spoil this movie.
