Thomas’s review published on Letterboxd:
“Un Flic” is a typical Jean-Pierre Melville crime film, which means it´s slick, cool, and stylish, and features stoic men being damn professionals. The problem is that films like “Le Samourai”, “Le Cercle Rouge”, and “Le Doulos” are even slicker, cooler, and more stylish, which is why “Un Flic” is a bit underwhelming in comparison. The meticulously crafted heist sequences are the clear highlights, but everything else is not quite as gripping and a bit unfocused. Nevertheless, if you are in need of a dose of French coolness, a Melville flick is never the wrong choice.
