When Jef Costello, a meticulous hitman, is seen leaving the scene of the crime, his employers want him dead and the police detectives want him captured. Jean-Pierre Melville's influential crime film is well scripted and stylishly directed. It's memorable for Alain Delon's iconic deadpan performance and François de Roubaix's lovely score.
