A fairly truthful representation of an actual event that occurred in the city of Marseilles.Even though a lot of facts are edited and added for the dramatic aspect of the movie it clearly paints a magnificent image of the city in the 1970's when the ruling mafia was not like the bandit-ism of today but a far more elegant and sophisticated type. The typical accent of a "marseillais" (person from Marseilles) is heard and is very accurate, Jean Dujardin plays his role superbly as the detective and proves his caliber as on of the best french actors in the current industry. Overall a flawless production, the spectator is captivated all along and his heart beats for the main characters risky path towards breaking down the "French Connection".
