THE PROFFESSIONAL



LE PROFESSIONNEL
(THE PROFESSIONAL)

France 1981

Directed by Georges Lautner

Jean Paul Belmondo
Michel Beaune
Cyrielle Claire
Jean Desailly




Jean Paul Belmondo (Godard's Breathless) brings his smoldering intensity to French super-spy Joss Baumont, a top agent sent on a mission to assassinate a foreign dictator. But when the political winds change, and Baumont is double-crossed by his own government, revenge becomes the name of the game. Prison can't hold him and no one can stand in his way as Baumont lays down the gauntlet - he will carry out his assignment and someone must die! Director Georges Lautner delivers a taut, thrilling espionage drama with a sensational score from Ennio Morricone.
