Plot: In the underbelly of the Parisian criminal world, the Police are frustrated by a gang committing a series of violent robberies...
Forget about "The Departed", "Mou Gaan Dou", whether a remake was sensible or not and which of the two's better. Doesn't matter. If "The Departed" could be considered as Jack Nicholson's big return, so should
"36" for
Gérard Depardieu - One of the most cold-blooded killers I've seen in films for years.
Seriously, I wasn't expecting anything from "36" but it turned out to be a great piece of cinema. French cinema

It's not narrowed to the typical Drama / Crime drivel and it's clever, well written and of course - played.
I can pretty well guarantee you're not be disappointed if you take the risk to see it.
