As Good As It Gets
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
I consider it as the most desperate french thriller of the 60's and even 70's. The story of a lost soldier, survivor of the Indochine war and the terrific battle of Dien Bien Phu. A man who has lost all his ideals, except perhaps his conception of honor and brotherhood of arm. His only treasure is the memory he keeps of his past fights, in the far East, where he lost so many comrades.His last fight will be a daring robbery aboard a plane, where a bullion is carried. A fight lost in advance, a heist he will accomplish not for the money, but only to plunge into his lost illusions.A dark, downbeat movie which let you destroyed after seeing it. Each time I watch it, I feel an ash taste in my mouth.I LOVE this film.Note it was directed by a famous Indochine war vet, Pierre Shoendoerffer
