An exciting mystery set in Nice directed with a lot of style by Philippe Labro. Jean-Louis Trintignant is a cop trying find a sniper that seems to be picking off people at random only to realize that everyone he comes into contact with ends up a victim. This hard boiled film is adapted from an Ed McBain story and so cleverly put together, it's impossible not to enjoy it. Trintignant is very stolid (almost humorless) and the supporting cast is terrific. Dominique Sanda is one victim's daughter and she seems to know more than she lets on. Sexy Carla Gravina is a call girl who obviously knows TOO MUCH. LOVE STORY author Erich Segal has a brief role as an astrologist. A great music score by Ennio Morricone.
