Movies 2

After wasting 90 minutes on "Jennifer's Body" I was reminded why I love Netflix. The OTHER movie I had waiting on me recently was the nifty French crime thriller "Dirty Money," starring Richard Crenna (!), Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve.
Best of all it was directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, the master of French crime films of that era.
"Play Dirty" isn't an upper echelon picture by Melville's standards, but it's plenty good enough to take you along for the ride as Crenna and his cohorts pull off a pair of daring robberies.
Delon is the tough guy cop and Deneuve is the lover of both the copper and the hood.
If you don't mind subtitles and enjoy a good crime picture, "Dirty Money" is definitely worth your time.
