The Outside Man (1972)
(Un homme est mort)
Country: FR/IT/US
Technical: col 104m
Director: Jacques Deray
Cast: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Roy Scheider, Ann-Margret, Angie Dickinson
Synopsis:
A French hitman in L.A. is pursued by another contract killer as he attempts to return to Europe having completed his kill.
Review:
Partly crafted by Jean-Claude Carrière, the screenplay may well be influenced by the writer's surrealist leanings: what if contract followed contract in an indefinite cycle? What remains is a compromise between that and a conventional thriller, something akin to Boorman's Point Blank.
