Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The director's penultimate work.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
If you ever wanted to know how to look good wearing a trenchcoat, lighting a cigarette, handling a revolver, drinking a whiskey or overpowering an armed guard, Jean-Pierre Melville's 1970 gangster drama is your guide.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,

fresh:
I can't say that Cercle Rouge is an overlooked masterpiece, but it's an amazing antidote to the current style of filmmaking in which silence and causal relationships are routinely disregarded.
– Robert Denerstein,
Denver Rocky Mountain News,

fresh:
One well-choreographed, beautifully shot and definitely cool cops-and-robbers film.
– Marta Barber,

Melville's special achievement was to relocate the American gangster film in France, and to incorporate his own steely poetic and philosophical obsessions.
