Standout Aspects

Acting

Edwige Feuillère steals every scene at 78, absolutely unbothered.

Direction

Gessner balances genuine melancholy with pitch-black comic timing.

Writing

The sad hitman premise actually commits emotionally, not just gag-deep.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you want French cinema without the heaviness.·Streaming: Perfect obscure discovery for your 'I watch real cinema' flex.
Heads up:Violence: Comedic gunplay and off-screen deaths, nothing graphic.

This was Edwige Feuillère's final screen role; she retired immediately after, cementing her as cinema's coolest exit.

Cultural

Gessner made this between his bigger thrillers, essentially treating a TV movie commission as personal playground — very French.
