"Urgence" is one of the many "political" movies which thrive in the 1975-1985 French cinema.This one is rather pleasant to watch because of the solid cast (Richard Berry,Donnadieu,Jean-François Balmer and Georges Géret)but the plot is rather thin and the implausibilities are everywhere.Good intentions -denouncing neo-nazis groups -rarely make satisfying movies and "urgence" is no exception.The final lines which appear on the screen -a device that was overused since "Z" (Costa-Gavras,1969) and are overkill in lieu of a serious conclusion.

Political thriller evoking an ultra right wing party, very rare at this period, it is a rather effective thriller showing once more Bernard Pierre Donnadieu as a villain, two years after RUE BARBARE, but here he is vs Richard Berry instead of Bernard Giraudeau. I will prefer this one because of the supporting cast, but the awful early eighties atmosphere still, as in RUE BARBARE, from the same Gilles Behat director, brings a touch that I have never been used to. I hate this period; I prefered the seventies. The music score, way of story telling and camera work, acting, neo punk soul and spirit, have always annoyed me so much...But it is bearable, never boring. But it is unfortunately very predictable, in the Hollywood manner. I watched it forty years ago and that's the first time I see it again.
