Du mou dans la gâchette
1966 Comedy / Crime / Thriller   

 

Review
Du mou dans la gâchette is one of a seemingly endless series of very silly gangster thrillers made in France in the 1960s, which sought to capitalise on the success of films such as Les Tontons flingueurs (1963) and Les Barbouzes (1964).  Like many films of its ilk, this one is seriously handicapped by a sub-mediocre screenplay that has fewer laughs than a Trappist monk convention and is directed with no real flair or imagination.  Despite the presence of so many talented comic performers in the cast, the film fails to be even mildly amusing, and the run-around plot quickly becomes repetitive and tedious.
