Plot
Laborie is a high-flying officer in the French special forces. Her mission is to escort Abedin Nexhep, a godfather of the Albanian mafia.
Sinekatalog’s take
A fast French action thriller about a special-forces officer escorting an Albanian mafia boss. Stylish and violent, it keeps the pace high even when the plot is routine. Entertaining for fans of European hard-boiled action.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
