Another cheap movie by Mocky which can boast a good cast : Richard Bohringer as a shrewd guardian of his deadly (check the title) nieces, and Jean -François Stévenin as a listless superintendent.
Thoroughly immoral ,this screenplay is a true wholesale slaughter in which everybody dies. The lines are often funny and witty,full of black humor ;one can regret some coarse scenes : the love-making after the escape, the naked girl with the police around....but the inmate blackmailing the prison governor and the priest turning into a gas station man ,then becoming a priest again to save the hero's soul make up for it.
The screenplay is not as strong as those of "noir comme le souvenir" or "la bête de miséricorde" but Mocky's fans can have a look.
