Summary: While escorting an Albanian mafia kingpin to trial, a special police unit led by agent Laborie (Nadia Fares) is ambushed by a gang of assassins hired to free the very mobster they're escorting. She manages to hold on to her prisoner, but she and her unit must quickly take refuge in a warehouse in a nearby industrial park. There, they encounter a gang of thieves who are in the process of stealing a cache of computers. The two factions must team up when the faceless army of mafia assassins converges on the warehouse in an attempt to reclaim the prisoner at any cost. This thrilling, high-tech action film from French director Florent Emilio Siri features a talented cast and a relentless pace driven by tense, nonstop action sequences.

One of the key movies of the 1970s, when exciting, groundbreaking, personal films were still being made in Hollywood, Milos Forman's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nestemphasised the humanistic story at the heart of Ken Kesey's more hallucinogenic novel. Jack Nicholson was born to play the part of Randle Patrick McMurphy, the rebellious inmate of a psychiatric hospital who fights back against the authorities' cold attitudes of institutional superiority, as personified by Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). It's the classic antiestablishment tale of one man asserting his individuality in the face of a repressive, conformist system--and it works on every level. Forman populates his film with memorably eccentric faces, and gets such freshly detailed and spontaneous work from his ensemble that the picture sometimes feels like a documentary. Unlike a lot of films pitched at the "youth culture" of the 1970s, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nestreally hasn't dated a bit, because the qualities of human nature that Forman captures--playfulness, courage, inspiration, pride, stubbornness--are universal and timeless. The film swept the Academy Awards for 1976, winning in all the major categories (picture, director, actor, actress, screenplay) for the first time since Frank Capra's It Happened One Nightin 1931. --Jim Emerson
