A gangster escapes jail and quickly makes plans to continue his criminal ways elsewhere, but a determined inspector is closing in.

Cinema Atlas Connection
I was very much inspired by Jean-Pierre Melville, his films are about men who work alone and have a code, and Le Samourai and Le Cercle Rouge and Le Deuxieme Souffle were very influential.
