Summaries

Storyline

On the eve of his release after five years imprisoned, the thief Corey is contacted by one guard of the prison that offers him a jewelry heist. However Corey seeks out his former boss Rico and steals money from him. Rico sends two gangsters to hunt Corey down and retrieve the stolen amount. Meanwhile the criminal Vogel is transported by train by the Police Officer Mattei and succeeds to escape. Corey drives from Marseille to Paris and Vogel hides in the trunk of his car. Corey finds him but does not object to ride Vogel to Paris hidden in the trunk. When the gangsters sent by Rico cut in Corey's car, Vogel saves him from the criminals, but Corey loses the money. Without money, Corey decides to heist the jewelry with Vogel and invites the former police detective Jansen to team-up with them. The trio executes a perfect heist but Rico is seeking revenge and Mattei is an unethical but efficient police officer capable to use any means to resolve the case. — Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil A recently released prisoner and a prisoner on the run meet by chance n plan to rob a prestigious but impregnable jewelry shop. The duo recruits an ex policeman for his shooting accuracy while at the same time a respected police commissioner is under pressure to catch the escaped convict. — Fella_shibby@yahoo.com Tipped-off about the perfect, no-risk jewellery heist by a crooked prison officer, lone wolf Corey is released from jail after five long years of incarceration. Stone-broke, and eager to settle old scores, Corey toys with the idea of taking the risk, unbeknownst to him, however, that his chance encounter, and unexpected partnership, with the dangerous fugitive, Vogel, has just put him on a collision course with the methodical, cat-loving Inspector Mattei. Now, there is no turning back, and to pull off the great Place Vendôme robbery, Corey and Vogel enlist the help of the booze-addled former police officer and superb marksman, Jansen. But, some people believe that all men are inherently evil. Is there an escape from the silent red circle? — Nick Riganas Corey is a cool, aristocratic thief, released from prison on the same day that Vogel, a murderer, escapes from the custody of the patient Mattei, a cat-loving police superintendent. Corey robs Rico, his mob boss, then enlists Vogel and an ex-police sharpshooter, Jansen, in a jewel heist. While Corey is harried by the vengeful Rico, Mattei pressures Santi, a nightclub owner and pimp, to help him trap the thieves. Over all hangs the judgment of the police directeur, that every man is guilty. —
