U.S. title: The French Detective
Title translation: Goodbye, Cop
While posting political propaganda for a mayoral candidate, a man is assaulted by a gang who works for the opposing candidate and dies as a result of it. A cop intervenes and is murdered. The main suspect disappears and the police starts searching for him. While the candidate who employed the suspect tries to exonerate himself from all responsibility for the crimes, the two detectives in charge of the investigation find that claim hard to believe.
Largely unremarkable cop thriller which focus on the theme of police corruption. The plot consists basically of the two protagonists fighting the corrupt establishment and employing the most implausible tricks to overcome the obstacles to their investigation. The two main actors are good, and the film is eventful, professionally made and not too long.
