Fantastic film. Even better score. And Jean-Paul Belmondo firing on all cylinders at his action peak!

Introducing Radiance Films' Blu-ray (Region B) release for 1981's Le professionnel. This French classic marked a high point in Belmondo's action career, his spectacular stunts and brawny charm underlined by Ennio Morricone’s iconic theme ‘Chi mai’.

When his orders to kill an African president change at the last minute, French secret agent Josselin Beaumont (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Breathless, Mississippi Mermaid) isn’t recalled but betrayed by his superiors, who denounce him to the enemy as an assassin. After two arduous years in a foreign jail, Joss escapes back to his homeland with vengeance on his mind, determined to carry out his original mission. He lets his former bosses know of his plans, using his spying skills to taunt them and to evade the brutal Commissioner Rosen (Robert Hossein, The Wicked Go to Hell).

IMPORTANT NOTE: An all-region Blu-ray player is required to view this movie. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B discs. If you're looking for a reliable all-region player, we've got you covered!
