Tir à vue (1984)
Directed by Marc Angelo

Drama

Film Synopsis

Richard has good reason to rail against society.  It wasn't that long ago that his brother was killed and the police refused to do anything about it.  Since, he has nurtured an ever-growing hatred for the world around him and he finally decides that the time has come for him to hit back, as hard as he can.  Raiding a gun shop, he acquires an adequate arsenal of weaponry and throws himself into his one-man crime spree.  On the way, he meets a wild and attractive young woman named Marilyn who is just as much an outsider as he is.  They team up and are soon terrorising the region with armed hold-ups and break-ins.  In Inspector Casti they have a formidable adversary.  Unable to put his daughter's accidental death behind him, he goes after the armed hoodlums and pursues them with an almost machine-like tenacity, determined to bring them to justice...
