Seems like a simple story to tell, just corrupt cops and criminals getting along in France. Not much else, just lots of over the top plot scenes to try and drive the story along which don't make a whole lot of sense. Action is ok, but not enough to recommend this movie.

Not an easy movie to do ... cops are supposed to be the good guys aren't they? But even the good ones are doing things - well not by the book. Maybe that is ok with you, but overall this may be something some may have issues with. And then there are the outright corrupt cops. Yes they have their reasons ... but are they good enough for what they do? Can you understand their thinking and forgive them? This will be up to the viewer.

I was going to give this a 7 instead of an 8, but I have to admit that the ending really did the trick for me. I understand if some feel the opposite - but I do think it's the only way to solve this ... or absolve? Finding peace or whatever you want to call it - no pun intended. Really grim and down and dirty - not something that will appeal to a lot I reckon ... with quite a few flaws along the way

Something lacks here if you consider that's an OM's feature, though you have here his trademark: a cop story, brutal, gritty, bleak and dark at the most. But he put too many elements, which brings much complexity to follow, and maybe not depth enough to the characters. That's not LES LYONNAIS, nor CARBONE or 36 either. But if you crave for rogue cops and violent action crime flicks, that's definitely for you. OM is the heir of Jean-Pierre Melville, not on the shape of course, but surely on the DNA. On the war of police topic, you also had COLT 45, made six years ago. Different story, but so dark and gloomy too. I repeat, I LOVE this film, but I would be fair enough to admit that OM lost much of his inspiring after LES LYONNAIS, in 2011. Look again BORDERLINE and CARBONE, nothing to do, with his second, third and fourth film ( 36, MR 73, and LES LYONNAIS.),the magic spirit, so powerful regarding of the deep characterization which was his trademark this magic, outstanding atmosphere has disappeared. This film is NOT a Netflix creation, no, no; no, it is a GAUMONT one. It was destined to the movie theaters, as the rest of his movies, except BORDERLINE, which was a TV movie. But I am sure Gaumont realized that a theatre release would be a disaster, so they preferred a Netflix distribution, they took this decision in July. They told it was because of the COVID, . Hmmmm...This way, Gaumont 1) Saves money from printing hundreds of copies destined to movie theaters for a film which would have been a gross failure and 2) gets a big check from Netflix for its release and 3) is distributed nearly all over the world. Actually, BRONX, which is a powerful crime movie though, really looks more like a Netflix production than a prestigious Gaumont feature. But the overall scheme would have perfectly fit for a mini series, in the line of BRAQUO.
