This movie tries to pull a string of a genre that was already dead and gone. French cinema was very good on that topic during the sixties and seventies. But in 1985, the French cop - crime - drama genre produced mostly poor quality movies that didn't age very well. If you want to see the top of the genre, watch The Sicilian Clan (1969).
In Cop's Honour the scenario is very flat and predictable. A group of not well defined extremists opens fire on young people. There is also a scene where what it seems black immigrants are also shoot at. During this spree, they kill Delon character daughter.
It creates a pattern of "justifiable violence" as the ex-cop returns to France and starts killing the murderers one by one.
This is a boring movie which reminds me some sequels of Bronson's "Death Wish" with even less redeeming qualities.
