WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Super-tragic cop thriller from France. Two rival cops chase down a gang of armed robbers, with horribly grave consequences.

ANY GOOD? Typical French moodiness and naggingly tense. If this was a Hollywood film, it would star De Niro and Pacino, and you'd love it more than cheese Quavers.

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'The Sweeney in French!'

REASON TO WATCH: Take a bird along, impress her that you like French intellectual films, when really, underneath you're enjoying a violent, hard-hitting crime drama for boys.
