A hard-boiled French cop takes on a seedy kidnapping ring in this neo-noir sexploitation spectacle.
THE FEMALE EXECUTIONER
Martine is a tough female cop trying to solve the kidnapping of a young girl by a gang of pornographers.
Only in 1980s France could a sexploitation cop drama be this committed to both sleaze and sleuthing.
Brigitte Lahaie trades softcore for steel as Martine, the no-nonsense cop diving headlong into France’s sleazy criminal underbelly. Between sex slave auctions, police corruption, and a penchant for tying up more than just loose ends, this is neo-noir with a decidedly X-rated twist.
