Set against the French Riviera and its seedy underworld is this clever, sexy caper. Bob Montagnet is about to gamble it all on the casino heist of a lifetime; a spectacular sleight of hand… two heists: one real, one not, but which is which? Inspired by the Jean Pierre Melville classic Bob Le Flambeur, this is a remake of an original that features a complex plot full of copies and originals. Addicted to both heroin and gambling, Bob is on a losing streak when he rescues Anne from a life of prostitution. When the opportunity to steal a fortune in rare art from a Monte Carlo casino arises, Bob hopes for a score big enough to let him retire from crime. His only problems seem to be Anne’s man troubles and Bob’s nemesis, local police chief Roger. To pull off the heist, Montagnet assembles a team that consists of partners Paulo and Raoul, technical mastermind Vladimer, former-drug-dealer-turned-informant Said, and the perfect complement to a double theft: identical twins Albert and Bertram.
