The Marseille Contract
An important drug lord settled in Marseille is suspected of having ordered the killing of an American agent, but it is impossible to impute him due to his political influences, so the dead agent's boss decides to hire the services of a hitman to kill him.
Critics Sentiment
Deray impresses Lucienne during car race and gets dinner invitation
Three way firefight ends with Deray's death and Ventura killing Brizzard
The film drops sharply from its peak car chase sequence to its widely criticized abrupt ending.
The film starts with solid tension and builds to entertaining highlights like the car chase sequence, but suffers from script implausibilities in the middle act. Critics consistently praised the cast and locations while lamenting the rushed, unsatisfying conclusion that undermines the earlier strengths.
