Le Samouraï Reviews

The writing in this is so achingly dumb oh my god. The so called "sharp and professional killer"walks into the casino at peak hour full of customers and security, wearing brightly colored clothes.
Then he talks to the guy he's about to kill giving him the opportunity to react.He-

godfather of your favorite "literally me" character.

8.2/10
Does not feel like a noir film that I am used to probably due to the color grading being a little bit lighter, but this is very entertaining and you can very clearly see the influences of this film on many others in the genre such as ghost dog - really intense story with strong writing that makes it feel like an American noir dubbed into french

I’m sorry how can you be stealthy carrying THAT MANY KEYS ON YOU?!!?

Engaging story & atmosphere, but not much I connected to on a character level. The ending uses a trope I have mixed feelings on. The sound is mostly diagetic, but the music is very enjoyable when it's used.  I think Jef's bird chirping is what actually drives him to murder.

Ok mais pas extraordinaire. Très lent. Intérêt histoire du ciné

There is no greater solitude than that of the samurai, unless it is that of the tiger in the jungle... perhaps...

8/10

Visually pleasing and great acting. Idk how to explain it but I just wouldn’t watch it again

So fucking amazing.

Great main character and filmmaking, slow but not boring, just a overall great movie

Alain Delon is the coldest dude alive… gripping, ambiguous, stoic.

I don’t know why but it gives me Taxi driver and Reservoir dogs vibes. Also Jef Costello is a savage

stylistic, subtle and sophistication. 1967 Neo-Noir French Minimalist Cinema
