Review of Le Cercle Rouge (1970) by Adam M — 07 Jul 2011

I have to say that I really haven't seen a gangster film at all like this. Don't get me wrong, I have seen many many films from American to Japanese Yakuza films but none with the style and suspense as Le Cercle Rouge! The lack of music throughout really makes you feel there with the three men and their trials, especially during the heist and ensuing chaos.

The acting and direction is incredible fine tuned and showcases the detail that went into the screenplay and direction. The film bleeds style both figuratively and literally! Highly Recommended for anyone into gangster films, noir films, or anyone simply looking for a great suspenseful film!
