Programmer's Pick
Jean-Paul Belmondo trades the badge for a bounty and a morally gray compass, chasing down a killer with a penchant for young accomplices and zero loose ends. If you like your thrillers with mercenaries, underworld politics, and a healthy disrespect for police procedure, this French import delivers.
