Directed by Richard Berry

Crime / Thriller
aka: 22 Bullets

Film Synopsis

Former gangland boss Charly Matteï had hoped that his criminal past is long dead and buried.  Now he leads a sedate but honest life in the company of his wife and children, and has no intention of resuming his erstwhile gangster activities.  Unfortunately, burying the past is not quite so simple as he imagines.  One winter's morning, he is attacked by a gang of armed thugs and left for dead in a Marseille car park.  Despite the fact he has been struck by 22 bullets, Charly survives and, once he has recovered, he sets about uncovering the identity of his attackers.  When a friend of his, Karim, is murdered by the same hitmen who tried to kill him, Charly's patient investigation turns into a determined campaign of revenge.  Now he will be satisfied with nothing less than the deaths of everyone who sought to put him out of the way.  In this, he will be assisted by Marie Goldman, a woman cop who hasn't yet got over the murder of her husband...
