In Washington in the 1980s, Bob Mazur is a federal agent who is used to carrying
out undercover investigations. He is on the point of giving up this
dangerous profession when he is once more led down the same road for another
important assignment. Once again, he must adopt a false identity so
that he can infiltrate an illegal drugs cartel led by Pablo Escobar, a notorious
criminal. In this task, he is partnered with Emir, who is well-acquainted
with the habits of Escobar and his entourage but is not the most reliable
of accomplices. Meanwhile, an inexperienced recruit, Kathy Ertz, is
to pass herself off as his fiancée. It is Bob's riskiest assignment
yet, and one false move could be fatal - for him and his far from ideal associates...

The very best of French film comedy
Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
