Michel Bouquet (La Femme Infidèle) is judge, jury and executioner in The Cop (Un Condé), a nerve-twisting crime thriller from director Yves Boisset (Dog Day). When a crackdown on drugs leads to his partner’s killing, Inspector Favenin (Bouquet), once an honest cop, decides to take the law into his own hands. Armed with a revolver and a furious desire for revenge, he uses morally questionable methods of blackmail and torture to track down the assassins. Based on a novel by Pierre Lesou (Le Doulos), The Cop is a jet-black neo-noir par excellence, featuring Françoise Fabian (Belle De Jour), Gianni Garko (If You Meet Sartana… Pray for Your Death), Michel Constantin (Violent City), Rufus (Amélie), Anne Carrère (The Secret Killer), Henri Garcin (Someone Behind the Door), Bernard Fresson (La Prisonnière) and Adolfo Celi (Thunderball). Special Features: -Brand New 4K Restoration -NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historians Howard S. Berger, Steve Mitchell and Nathaniel Thompson -Trailer -Optional English Subtitles

Marcel Bozzuffi (The French Connection), Sylva Koscina (Trapped by Fear) and Michel Constantin (Violent City) give perfectly hard-boiled performances in this Eurocrime gem directed by Jean-Pierre Desagnat (Les Étrangers, OSS 117: Double Agent). When hitman Marc (Bozzuffi) refuses to liquidate his friend René (Constantin), he becomes a target himself. In order to escape his former boss and his ruthless thugs, he seeks support from the sultry Sylvie Dussort (Koscina), who offers him shelter on the Riviera. What Marc does not know is that the lady has a hidden agenda. Swirling with Hitchcockian suspense and a Eurowestern score, Vertigo for a Killer (Vertige pour un tueur) delivers the neo-noir goods.
