Two homosexual legionnaires gets together after they're released from the army, and decides to make heist their next profession.Charles Bronson and Alain Delon are a perfect match as the homosexual partner in crime. As Alain himself was allegedly (mind you only allegedly) a homosexual partner with the chairman of the Dassault corporation around or shortly after this film was made.I sometimes wonder if this movie was made with Japanese market in mind. Charles Bronson and Alain Delon were two of the most favorite movie stars of the Japanese around the time this movie was made. Them getting together in an action movie must have been like a dream come true for the Japanese audiences.The acting could have been little bit more vamped up in this movie. It's obvious when you see the two actors throwing punches, it's fake. But their eyes when they're looking at each others rear end looked real.Extremely good performances by two of the best leading man type actors in the world. Despite the nasty professions they've chosen, it's obvious that these two are a really nice guys. If you're a fan of either of these super stars, you wouldn't want to miss this movie.

Hi, May be because I am not a Theater major or a sophisticated movie watcher ... I think this movie is "Boring" and "Dumb".I rented this movie because of Charles Bronson and it's title ... but boy what a waste of time ... just watching 2 guys sitting in a vault and talking ...The movie on this DVD was so "DARK" ... I had hard time watching the darn movie ... I realize it is a 1968 movie ... but they are putting it on a DVD then they should do some digital remastering.Also, I was totally surprised to see these high marks on IMDb for this movie ... like I said before I am not as sophisticated as the other folks who commented on this movie earlier.

This movie is definately one of my favorite movies in it's kind. The interaction between respectable and morally strong characters is an ode to chivalry and the honor code amongst thieves and policemen. It treats themes like duty, guilt, word, manipulation and trust like few films have done and, unfortunately, none that I can recall since the death of the 'policial' in the late seventies. The sequence is delicious, down to the essential, living nothing out and thus leading the spectator into a masterful plot right and wrong without accessory eye catching and spectacular scenes that are often needed in lesser specimens of the genre in order to keep the audience awake. No such scenes are present or needed. The argument is sand honest to the spectator; An important asset in a genre that too often achieve suspense through the deception of the audience. No, this is not miss Marble... A note of congratulations for the music is in order A film to watch and savor every minute, not just to see.

Bronson shines in this great film. This is clearly one his his best pics yet. The movie is great. The story, the acting... Everything. The chemstry between Bronson and co-star Alain Delon works well.One quesion though... why is Bronson billed so low? Look at how the cast is listed on imdb page... Bronson WAS the star of this, along side Alain Delon.I've heard that new DVD versions of this film are terrible in quality. I have an OLD vhs of this that is pretty good. The quality isn't great, but it is surely watchable. I guess I'm lucky.Anyway- go see this movie now!
