This review is from: Police Python 357 (DVD)

"Police Phyton 357" was one of the most relevant and tense thrillers of those early seventies. Not just because the dark plot, in which a police officer is accused for a crime he never committed, but the confuse and perplex fact there's nobody in whom you may trust. Everybody distrusts of everybody. Direction and a superb cast make the rest in this memorable and peer suspenseful thriller.

Don't miss it.

4.0 out of 5 stars ALAIN CORNEAU, OPUS 2, January 9, 2008

Daniel S. "Daniel" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Police Python 357 (DVD)

**** 1976. Co-written and directed by Alain Corneau. César award in the Best Editing category. A cop, accused of the murder of his chief's mistress, decides to start his own investigation and discovers soon that the real murderer is his own boss. Every detail is important in this film, cold and secret but one quickly understands that Montand and Périer are nothing but marionettes in the hands of Simone Signoret and Stefania Sandrelli. A movie to rediscover at short notice.

This review is from: Police Python 357 ( The Case Against Ferro ) ( Police Python Three Fifty Seven ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2.4 Import - Netherlands ] (DVD)

This is an exceptional thriller aptly described as a "thinking man's DIRTY HARRY" with a BIG CLOCK type of plot and an incredible Yves Montand relishing his role as an obsessive cop. All of the characters here are expertly drawn and spellbinding. Buy the Netherlands DVD for the anamorphic widescreen transfer and the English subtitles! What a treat it is to see this film again after nearly 40 years!
