If you’re a fan of sigma males like John Wick, and or a Noir Lover, this is the perfect movie for you. Very less words are spoken in this movie, the actions of the characters speak more, their environment talks if you listen.
It’s truly remarkable how Jean Paul Melville speaks so much via this film with very few spoken words, and makes us feel really stressed and anxious to what happens next (& many other emotions). Alain Delon has done an amazing job as the “Samourai” and his wife at that time Nathalie Delon is the female lead in this film. Alain Delon epitomizes style in this movie, and his performance and this movie as a whole has influenced many cultural events, and works including the Ryan Gosling cult flick Drive (2011).
If you’re a cinephile, miss this masterpiece at your own peril.
