Film Synopsis
Former gangland boss Charly Matteï had hoped that his criminal past
is long dead and buried. Now he leads a sedate but honest life in the
company of his wife and children, and has no intention of resuming his erstwhile
gangster activities. Unfortunately, burying the past is not quite so
simple as he imagines. One winter's morning, he is attacked by a gang
of armed thugs and left for dead in a Marseille car park. Despite the
fact he has been struck by 22 bullets, Charly survives and, once he has recovered,
he sets about uncovering the identity of his attackers. When a friend
of his, Karim, is murdered by the same hitmen who tried to kill him, Charly's
patient investigation turns into a determined campaign of revenge.
Now he will be satisfied with nothing less than the deaths of everyone who
sought to put him out of the way. In this, he will be assisted by Marie
Goldman, a woman cop who hasn't yet got over the murder of her husband...
