5/10

"Big-name cast mostly wasted on pointless fluff (the ending only confirms the pointlessness), though Jean Seberg is a knockout and there is one good action sequence (the car escape down the mountain). ** out of 4...."

💡 Did You Know?

Jean-Louis Trintignant was initially cast as David Ladislas, but dropped out, thus allowing the film to be a reunion between Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, 4 years after Breathless (1960).
