The Syringe
Good dope is becoming rare in the North of Paris. Drugstores are being raided by junkies and gangs are nervous, fighting each others: the ‘Viets’, the ‘Blackies’, the ‘Arabs’, the neo-nazis ‘Justiciers’ and some mean gays. Vincent (Daniel Auteuil) is the good cop coming from Marseilles where he was a gangster. He’s a soft method guy but also kicks assses hard and throw lethal dialog lines when needed.
