Seasoned drug smuggler and thief François "Chico" Tremblay (Panic'sMarc LegauIt) is tired of his modest lifestyle. Given the opportunity to earn $50,000 kiIling a prominent New York City gangster, he leaps at the opportunity, ignoring the warnings of Montreal's leading mob boss, who has forbidden IocaI criminals from taking the assignment. Upon his return, Chico discovers he is being pursued from aII sides, prompting an unlikeIy response: he calIs a Iocal talk radio show and starts revealing the mafia's most carefuIly guarded secrets. As his revelations get more shocking, so do the tactics of his adversaries, cuIminating in a devastating gut punch of a finale.<P>Bringing seedy authenticity to his depiction of organized crime, director Jacques Godbout (YUL 871) reached new heights with this urgent, fataIistic gangster odyssey. Landing somewhere between the American and European crime fiIms of the '70s, The Mob (La gammick) is propeIled into constant crisis by its uniquely unscrupulous protagonist – and those determined to avenge his indiscretions.
