Synopsis
Choucas, un ancien policier devenu détective privé est engagé par une vieille dame afin de retrouver sa fille aveugle, Marthe, qui a disparu. Peu après la vieille dame est assassinée. Aidé par son associé, Haymann, commissaire de police à la retraite, et sa secrétaire, Charlotte, Choucas tente de dénouer les fils d'un imbroglio où divers services de police et des trafiquants de drogue sont mêlés. Chemin faisant, Choucas subit l'agression d'un certain Pradier qu'il retrouve ensuite dans l'appartement de la victime et le tue. De retour chez lui, Choucas échappe alors au piège tendu par un dénommé commissaire Madrier. Résultat, Choucas est recherché par une bande mystérieuse et par la police nationale. Une cascade d'événements mouvementés s'ensuit. Utilisé par la police et, en particulier, par l'inspecteur principal Coccioli, resté à l'arrière-plan, Choucas, acharné à découvrir la vérité, manque d'y laisser sa vie et n'est sauvé, in extremis, que par les forces de l'ordre.Actors

Marie (Anne Parillaud) is a very appealing modern-day vampire in Pittsburgh, with a moral code that limits her bloodsucking to the criminal elements of society. After feasting on mafioso Tony (Chazz Palminteri), she shoots him in the head with a shotgun to cover up the bite marks on his neck and to prevent him from coming back as a vampire. Undercover cop Joseph Gennaro (Anthony LaPaglia) visits the crime scene, but is taken off his assignment of infiltrating the crime family of Salvatore 'The Shark' Macelli (Robert Loggia) and put into protective custody by District Attorney Sinclair (Angela Bassett) for being witnessed at the crime scene by the media.

Four men rob a bank in Saint-Jean-de-Monts. A detective (Delon) tries to catch the team responsible for the lethal bank robbery, foil a drug smuggling operation and hold on to his girlfriend (Deneuve), whom he shares with a nightclub owner (Crenna), his friend and a prime suspect in the robbery. The notoriety and shared knowledge between the players intensifies into the film, similar to a Le Carre adaptation with the protagonists confronting each other at the climax of the story. The short stories and anecdotes that lead viewers to the conclusion, become a melange of real time actions scenes and non verbal interactions that hint at spy mystery, while remaining open to the viewer's interpretation. In one scene, all three protagonists can be seen at a bar, sharing a drink and glancing at each other as strangers, each one coy to reveal his or her real identity. Hence Melville's license to play with characters and plots to leave space for the film genre to shine through.
