Le Samourai (1967) Part 1

Hitman Jef Costello is a perfectionist who always carefully plans his murders and who never gets caught. One night however, after killing a night-club owner, he's seen by witnesses. His efforts to provide himself with an alibi fail and more and more he gets driven into a corner.

Great movie. I enjoyed seeing the Paris of that time, 1967 and the interiors, subway, cars, telephones etc.

Look closely at Jef Costello. He's the man all yer Jason Stathams, yer Vin Diesels, and yer Bruce Willises aspire to be. He is the epitome of cool.

I think a lot of the people overpraising Drive haven't seen Le Samourai or Michael Mann's Thief, each better thrillers about criminals.

@captain07234 Agreed, I liked "Drive" but I found it slightly bizarre. The director was trying to showcase or cram many styles and techniques into a thin story.

@DWaq32

Yeah, Drive was overrated and the "coolness" of Gosling's character was forced. I also had trouble buying him as a tough guy. I also got the feeling with Drive the director wasn't telling a story so much as saying 'Look at what a great director I am.'

@jucurtis23 Well, yeah, except this guy is cooler and this movie is better

before you start watching this beware that the final part only tends to get removed, though there is one part 10 up for now

[marsharent]

nice to see birds and dogs getting some of the main dialogue for a change

[dyzoly]
