Crime Insiders
Rating MA15+
Synopsis
“An extremely violent gangster pic awash in brutal guys, guns, dope, prostitutes, night clubs and foul language.”
-Lisa Nesselson, VARIETY
César-nominated director Frédéric Schoendoerffer pulls no punches in his depiction of loyalty and greed in the Paris underworld. Hollywood-slick in execution but unflinching in its raw sex and brutal violence, Crime Insiders delves deep into a world of drug trafficking, prostitution and torture involving power drills, knives and large metal rods. Like a book that you can’t put down, Crime Insiders hits hard and low, but holds true to the main theme of loyalty among the morally bankrupt throughout. With Philippe Caubère, Benoît Magimel (Sky Fighters), Béatrice Dalle and French porn star Oksana d'Harcourt, this is as sexy as crime drama gets.
Ruthless crime lord Claude Corti (Philippe Caubére) rules with an iron fist and a sadistic brand of torture, earning him the fear and respect of the Parisian underworld. Involved in all things criminal and contraband, he is the worst combination of violent and paranoid. Claude has come to rely heavily on 30-year-old Franck, a professional and effective killer. When Claude is imprisoned by authorities, fissures begin to appear in the tightly organised syndicate he leaves behind. Loyalties falter as gang members see Claude’s departure as an opportunity for their own advancement. Featured as part of the 2008 Alliance Française French Film Festival.
