#106 is an adaption of a West Texas pulp novel adapted for 1930's West Africa - An interesting tale about a local policeman who is pushed over the edge and begins taking his revenge
The interesting part of this movie is it reminded me of another film about a lawman gone bad, "The Killer Inside Me" - what's really interesting is both that book and this one are written by the same author - he seems to have a certain frame of mind with this sort of writing.
Neither the lead actor nor the director have popped up on my radar before but they appear to have quite the body of work in France - perhaps we shall see more of Bertrand in the future - it is one of those movies that at first gets you to sympathize with the main character - (like the Micheal Douglas character in "Falling Down") - you're considering the possibility that the first people this guy kills probably had it coming - and maybe another one - and then it starts to spiral
Kind of a cool DVD - an alternate ending is described - but it's out of print - so do the Netflix or library route
