Synopsis
Inspector Mireille Molyneux’s one-woman attempt to smash a prostitution
ring leads her into deep water when the suspects she arrests turn out
to be officers of the IGS, the so-called police of the police.
Sidelined by her colleagues, reprimanded by her boss, Molyneux decides
to carry on her work, assisted by IGS inspector Biaise Lacroix...
Film Review
Josiane Balasko certainly fits the role of a no-nonsense, tough female
cop, but her feisty performance in this, her second film as a director,
is just about all the film has going for it. The situations,
characters and plot are all about as clichéd and banal as they
could be, lacking the charm and inspiration of Balasko’s later
films. A lacklustre script and mediocre performances from the
supporting cast greatly diminishes the film’s entertainment value and
it is a real chore to have to sit it through to the bitter end.
