Le Cercle Rouge ***
Jean-Pierre Melville, 1970
France
@ home on DVD
Excellent in its own right, but I must admit to watching it solely because of Johnnie To's upcoming remake, featuring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson, Chow Yun-fat, and Alain Delon, presumably in a different role. It'll be interesting to see how To maintains or changes the relationship dynamics, and whether or not he ramps up the set-pieces, like the escape from the train or the heist near the end.
