PUNQ

Rated 21 Nov 2014

It's a well known fact that the French were pioneers when it came to adventurous crime thrillers in the 1910s. Chantecoq might not be among the best, but it's certainly very watchable with several entertaining scenes involving spies and violence. Could definitely have used more of that explosiveness for at times it was a little too still.
