Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: The community of Nice nears panic after a silent sniper starts a murder spree by assassinating random citizens, but surly and barely communicative police detective Stephane Carella (Jean-Louis Trintignant) discovers a pattern among the group of victims, which includes recent lover Jocelyne Rocca (Carla Gravina), and which may enable him to capture the killer before he strikes again.
Kitty Cameo: A tabby and white street cat lounging in front of a shop is visible in the background as the killer hides his rifle case in a street cleaner’s push cart.
The cat is still in the same position when the street cleaner returns a few moments later to push the cart away.
Final Mewsings: The savvy cat knew the identity of the murderer before anyone else in the movie!
