 Rating: - Belmondo and Delon in top formThis is one of the all-time fun French gangster films. I saw it in a cinema in Paris, but just try to find the DVD or videotape! I guess they're trying to increase its rarity value by foisting a much inferior film, Borsalino & Company, on Delon and Belmondo fans. Well, this is the genuine article, more Marseille than the real city, perhaps 60 years or so ago, so just enjoy the great dialogue and scenarios IF YOU EVER MANAGE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS TAPE OR (BETTER) DVD. Rating: - Once upon a time before the Godfather... The special emphasis in the customes , settings and musical backdrop makes of this work one of the more sincere tribute to the gangster films of the Hollywood fifties . Belmondo and Delon meet in the screen for the first time . The script flies from Beverly to Marseille which represents in France what Sicilia to Italia .

Three things about this movie have stuck with me: the soundtrack [which I'm humming as I write this], the disposal of the last major threat to the climb to the top and the superb, darkly funny finale which starts when the Chief of Police invites The Lads in for a chat. I agree that it's a Thinking Persons movie, ... Read More Rating: - The coolest gangster film everThis is a great film. The musical score still sticks in my mind since I saw the film as a child. The initial fight scene between Belmondo and Delon is one of the great classic scenes in the movies. I also remember the fish market scene, as the duo begin to slowly take control over Marseilles' rackets. They have to re release this on video. Rating: - OUTSTANDING & LOT'S FUNOriginally called "The Bandits of Marseille", "Borsalino" should only be seen SUB-TITLED, the dubbed version has ruined the film. Why it is "R" rated is beyond me...and yes I have the original soundtrack which is not for sale. |
