Goofs
Towards the end of the film, when Vrinks hands Klein a Colt 1911 to urge him to commit suicide, he says "If the first one misses you, there's another 13 in the magazine." A Colt 1911 only holds 7 to 8 rounds, and Vrinks would have known about it.

Powerful Movie Probably the Best Police Story that I Have Recently Seen

A couple of days ago I saw the trailer of "36 Quai des Orfèvres" and I decided to buy the DVD. What a powerful movie it is, probably the best police story that I have recently seen. The dramatic and amoral story is a contemporary film-noir, with action, betrayal, shootings and hooks the attention from the beginning to the end. There is a great duel between two titans: Gérard Depardieu, in the role of a scum detective, and Daniel Auteuil, playing a detective with non-conventional procedures, and they both deserved nomination to the Oscar for such brilliant performances. The music score, with the song "Don't Bring me Down", is also wonderful. The grandiosity of "36 Quai des Orfèvres" recalled me 1995 "Heat", one of the best police stories of the 90's. I really do not understand why there are negative reviews for such great film. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "36"
