This is a stylish heist film, but as a viewer I felt strangely detached from the proceedings. I'm sure "Bob Le Flambeur" was hugely influential upon its original release, but today I can only compare it to similarly-themed films that exhibit better execution. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of director Jean-Pierre Melville's other films then this is definitely worth watching.
