oh and the little guy dying inside the title is reminescent of a great french thriller with belmonde, the professional (nothing to do visually, but the concept remains really close)

That looks cool. How is the film?

the film is one of the best belmondo of this period. he was on a running success with all this 70s gaumont / rené chateau movies. the professionnal was the last of this good streak. he dies at the end of the movie, which was quite a shock to his fans at the time, and the death of his movie personna…. it was directed by george lautner and dialogs written by the great audiard, based on a famous scandalous political french affair…
afterwards, it went downhill in the 80s, with turds like LE MARGINAL (http://www.cinemotions.com/data/films/0040/32/1/A0004032.jpg) … wish was shot a couple of blocks away from my aunt’s place at the time…
from then on, it was farce / vigilante movie stuff, bad, bad…

the professional was a HUGe success in france… and you probably know the soundtrack, by ennio morricone….
