| Slant MagazineFernando F. CroceA rather unremarkable societal indictment. |
| User ReviewAugustin DAutant les polars de Melville ou Verneuil m'emmerdent profondement, autant j'ai toujours eu un faible pour ceux de Jose Giovani, sans doute parce que ce dernier savait de quoi il parlait. Deux hommes dans la ville raconte le recit d'un homme a la derive, un ancien criminel en voie de reinsertion dont le destin va croiser celui d'un policier vicieux et tenace. Delon est exceptionnel dans ce film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UEnough said, I watched this film for the first time in 1994, and it rather potently made me sympathise for the first time with the screen narrative. It became my gateway in to the European cinema, and possibly even into the deeper understanding of art. It is quite possible that, if I watch it today, my opinion of it will be different, but I wouldn't have my opinion about a lot of things had it not been for this film. |
| User ReviewThoughtsofashy TD'emblée, je tiens à le dire : je n'aime pas trop Alain Delon. Sa personnalité publique m'énerve, surtout ces dernières années de par ses prestations télévisuelles ou même au cinéma, surtout dans le dernier Astérix. Mais il faut avouer tout de même qu'il a eu une grande carrière cinématographique époustouflante, ayant joué et tourné avec les plus grands. Deux Hommes Dans la Ville en est l'exemple parfait. Delon est parfait dans ce rôle de repris de justice qui tente tant bien que mal de se réinsérer dans la société. Tant bien que mal, parce qu'il est sans cesse harcelé par un flic borné interprété magnifiquement par Michel Bouquet. Jean Gabin, qui signe ici l'une de ses dernières prestations majeures, joue le rôle d'un assistant social qui va aider Delon dans sa réinsertion, et à résister aux pressions faites par le flic. Ce film est marquant dès la première vision, dur, filmé à la manièe d'un film noir italien des années 1970. Les deux personnages centraux ne se volent pas la vedette puisque ils se complètent pour mener à bien le chemin de la rédemption entammé par Delon. Les seconds rôles sont prestigieux et crédibles (Depardieu, Lanoux, Girardeau, Bouquet...). Bref, l'un des polars français dont on ne parle pas assez, et qui doit figurer dans les références de tout bon cinéphile. |
| User ReviewDavid HI love this 70's French Crime Movies and this one is extraordinary specteculat Alain Delon as a Ex-Bank Robber who get released from Jail after 10 Years and a Social Worker who try to help him to found back into Civil Life and he found a new Girlfriend everything seems perfect but the Mean Cop who arrested him then stalk and harrass him everywhere he goes and drive him back into Old Behaviours until he kills the Cop and get executed on the Guilotine (Which is such a Barbarism) that's one Thing i love on French Movies the Cops are often the Bad Ones and the Deep Critism on the own System |
| User ReviewGreg NAn important political statement against capital punishment. |
| User ReviewSebastien GLe meilleur film du duo Gabin Delon à mon avis. Une histoire dramatique, à la bande son bien choisie, enrichie par la performance de Michel Bouquet en flic inhumain et manichéen. 8 ans avant l'abolition de la peine de mort, le réalisateur prend nettement parti contre cette sanction d'un autre âge et mène le spectateur à la même conclusion que lui. Savoureux aussi : la voix off de Gabin, un timbre dont ne se lasse pas. |
| User ReviewSteve ESPOILERS! Superb French film, with two of the best actors the cinema has given us. Very popular and respected in France, but also known internationally, solid story, and very engaging. The last 15 mins are very tense, and the ending very sad. This is clearly not a feel good Hollywood film, it's more along the brutal realism of the inherent injustices of the justice system. A man who is pursued by his criminal past, who upon his release from prison after a 10 year incarceration, finds himself a good job, works hard, and stays clean, rejects propositions of old-time criminal buddies. But an obsessed and arrogant cop follows him everywhere, harasses him, and disturbs his life in every possible way, until the former inmate just cracks under the extreme treatment he is subjected to from the arrogant and persecuting cop. Fate will bring nothing but tragedy for this man, who gives his best shot at coming clean, but destiny deals him real bad cards. |
| User ReviewLouis DAside from the expertly portrayed performances of Jean Gabin and Alain Delon, this film seems to be a disjointed collision of well-done, but separately constructed genre pieces holding onto each other via weak transitions. Only at the film's brilliant, and virtually silent, conclusion can the spectator realize the cohesiveness of this A-grade crime story. |
| User ReviewWalter MIn "Two Men in Town," Germain(Jean Gabin), an educator who volunteers for the parole board in a prison, puts his reputation on the line in writing when he states that Gino Strabliggi(Alain Delon, who also produced) is reformed after ten years in prison and deserves to be released two years early. Over strenuous objections, he gets his wish and Gino is as good as his word, as he is reunited with his dutiful wife Sophie(Ilaria Occhini) and gets a job as a printer. Even when his old cohort Marcel(Victor Lanoux) comes to pay a visit, he is not even tempted. Things do not go as well for Germain as he stops working at the prison after a prisoner's suicide and riot and moves to Montpelier to work with delinquents. "Two Men in Town" has some important things to advocate on the subject of prisoners deserving humane treatment, reform, not punishment, and the benefit of the doubt, no matter what they may have done in the past. All of which is too touchy a subject for any politician to take up as a cause. Otherwise, the movie is fairly routine but does play with a genre convention or two. Most of its allure comes from the movie's star power, especially an early confrontational scene between Alain Delon and Gerard Depardieu, that in retrospect could be seen as something of a changing of the guard. |
