Unlike many of his other crime movies that he made during the '70s and '80s,Three Men to Kill is an interesting, suspenseful and thrilling film.Atmospheric and quite violent, it benefits from a quite intelligent script (it is the adaptation of a book) and from Dalila Di Lazzaro's charming youth and freshness.
Dalila shows her tits several times during the first part of Three Men to Kill (in bed;at the beach;in the shower)--it's a treat,like any nudity coming from Dalila.
Jacques Deray made several films with Delon;this one has to be the best of them.(The Swimming Pool ,Borsalino (1970),Borsalino & Co. (1974) ,Flic Story (1975),The Gang are the others.)It may be concluded that Delon made his bad movies with José Pinheiro and José Giovanni--for that is the worst slapdash of his uneven movie career;and his better thrillers with Jacques Deray.
Three Men to Kill is suspenseful,well-paced,paranoiac and it has even some moments of almost Bronsonian violence.So,it's what the delicate persons would call a piece of sleaze!Recommended movie.
Delon's role here is atypical, as it doesn't illustrate anymore his famous narcissism ;Gerfaut is violent and virile, but it's not one of the risible superhuman heroes from some of the rubbish that Delon did in the '80s. Also Delon's performance is understated, in a commendable way.
When I began reading comments on IMDb, I was expecting to find Delon adulated as a cultactor; on the contrary, he seems to be more known than respected (on different artistic levels, Brando and De Niro are in the same situationvery famous, but not very respected).
If you're looking for something as banal and clumsy and insipid as Delon's bad movies about cops from the '80s, then the suspense in 3 Men will appear as deftly managed. It's good; the European look is surely adequate.
