"Similar to Jean-Pierre Melville's 1969 masterwork The Army of Shadows, Gallic wartime fresco The Army of Crime is a less thrilling and more academic take on the doomed efforts of the French Resistance. Based on the actual plights of a WWII underground immigrant brigade, vet helmer Robert Guediguian's lengthy period yarn features a wide array of characters filmed with his habitual simpatico eye" (Jordan Mintzer, Variety). In French with English subtitles.
