36 - Quai des Orfèvres (2006)

Just caught up with this excellent French thriller starring Gerard Depardieu (as Denis Klein) and Daniel Auteuil (as Leo Vrinks) and a proper plot.

From the BBC website: Admit it: we live in a world full of mediocre crime thrillers. Still, that means that when a film such as Olivier Marchal's 36 comes along, it's all the more exhilarating. In this near pitch-perfect study of ambition and revenge, two battle-worn alpha policemen - French masters Gérard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil - go head to head in Paris, to catch a gang of murderous armed robbers. A stellar cast, a great story, and some momentous shoot-outs; what more could you want?

IMDB 7.2/10
