action

Commissioner Scatti has installed a secret fascist organization in the Paris police, which has set itself the task of exterminating crime bosses and other enemies of the republic. When three underworld greats bless the temporal, Commissioner Grindel is put on the case in order not to leave the police in a bad light. Grindel gets two employees Lutz and Pèret. Lutz is a member of Scatti's organization.

When a witness answered, he was executed by gendarmes during the phone call. The gendarmes, after asking Scatti for more powers, are also eliminated. Grindel turns to an old friend from the underworld, but before he can investigate he is killed by Lutz with a crossbow. Scatti condemns the act because it caused too much attention and was unnecessary. Grindel realizes that Lutz is wrong and wants to arrest him. Lutz evades arrest by throwing himself out of the window. Ginzbaum, a gendarme, confides in Grindel and tells him that Inspector Latueva is responsible for recruiting the secret organization. However, the latter commits suicide ceremonially before Grindel can arrest him. At the same time, Ginzbaum was massacred in the toilet.

Pèret receives an offer from Spiero to negotiate with Scatti. Grindel gets caught in a fire attack, which he survives with minor injuries. Pèret comes to the meeting and realizes too late that it is an execution tribunal for him. Scatti executes him with three bullets. Commissioner Grindel is beside himself and mobilizes all forces to smash this organization. His boss, Cazalieres, wants to take the case from Grindel, but Grindel wants to see Scatti. Scatti appears armed with his men in the hope of finally getting rid of Grindel. But Grindel had the building rearranged and demands the task of those involved. He has to realize that Cazalieres is involved too. Grindel seals off the office and shoots Scatti in the head. At home he confesses to his girlfriend that he has quit the job.

  • The original French title is translated: Do not wake a sleeping Flic .

Reviews

"A psychologically and ideologically superficial crime film full of brutalities for its own sake, tailored to the main actor."

- Lexicon of international film

"Cynical thriller with self-promoter Delon."

- cinema.de

“Very tough, sometimes erratic action thriller with superstar Alain Delon (in the title role and as producer), who shows off his unbroken masculinity at every opportunity. Director José Pinheiro, who already delivered a video hit with “ Panther I ”, this time leads the fascist “Republicans” into the field as power-obsessed opponents. The superficial examination of their goals often only serves as a foil for extended firefights and cynical violence. "
