A pointer from a review of the recent The Killer. Most of it is like the police-procedural side of The Day of the Jackal: the Parisian police know who their assassin is from early on and the remainder is about enforcing the production code despite being French. There's a psychological dimension to it that I mostly missed; I had no clue what the ending was about. Some of the interior cinematography is fine. It was a time of hats.
Apparently I saw this more than a decade ago. It seems I have more patience for this type of thing now.
Roger Ebert: four stars as a "great movie" in 1997. Vincent Canby, briefly (title The Godson).
