In Nice, Inspector Stéphane Carella (Jean-Louis Trintignant) returns from vacation with his friend Jocelyne Rocca (Carla Gravina). Soon he has to investigate the murder of a wealthy and wolf businessman by a sniper. Then two other successful man are murdered in the same way and Carella does not find the link for the murders. When he meets Jocelyne in his apartment and she is murdered in front of his building, Carella believes he has found a clue to be followed.
"Sans mobile apparent", a.k.a. "Without Apparent Motive", is a good French thriller with a mysterious police story. Jean-Louis Trintignant has excellent performance, as usual, as a persistent investigator of murders where nobody sees the sniper in a time where there was no technique to investigate the DNA. Therefore, the police investigation had to follow clues. However, the rushed conclusion is weak. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Sem Motivo Aparente" ("Without Apparent Motive")
