He is one of the archetypes of the French Action cinema: Jean-Paul Belmondo. Rough, crude and with a loose tongue, he went after his Nouvelle Vague-time and was loved by his fans for it. So also in Henri Verneuil fear over the city (1975), which is counted by many among his best works from this period.
Minos, a mysterious killer has targeted single women who live in his opinion, not modest enough. Letellier (Belmondo) is entrusted with the case, although he is just busy to pay a bill from his past and take the Marcucci bank robber. It will not take it seriously Minos and the case at the beginning. It was only when he could come and Marcucci There were more murders by Minos, he blows on the hunting of the insane and goes through its known direct way. For long stretches, the story is ambivalent when Belmondo recreates Letellier two crooks and that is one of the great problems of fear over the city . At two hours the film goes and creates it and unfortunately not enough to maintain a consistent level. The actual main plot around Minos beginning to degenerate into a sideshow and it failed by early build tension. 
The audience is always between Minos and Marcucci torn. That may also describe Letellier state of mind, is for the movie But little hindrance. Anyway, it is ego and Letellier Belmondo presence, which appear to be ubiquitous and the antagonist leave little room for development. This is still far more entertaining than that Belmondo can carry the story as well but you can see that something larger would have been possible. One problem I consider too obvious logic weaknesses of the screenplay, the burden me otherwise less, but it is very naive if Letellier Minos minutes long followed in relative close distance over the rooftops, it recognizes in the following scene, but, despite this almost identical clothing with. Similar corners and edges can be found in the script throughout and so sad the fun a bit. Perfectly, however, is the technical staging and here the film with great action scenes come up converted to invite another 35 years later tenterhooks along. Combine that with the unique charm of the 70s, so you get today still serves a very passable viewing pleasure, which through the script, unfortunately, is somewhat clouded: 6.5 / 10
