Viewers are deeply moved by 'The Old Gun,' praising its intense portrayal of a man's transformation from a peaceful surgeon to a vengeful fighter after his family is brutally murdered by Nazis. Philippe Noiret's performance is consistently highlighted as powerful, and Romy Schneider is celebrated for her compelling role. The film's emotional depth, combined with a poignant score, leaves a lasting impact, although some find its pacing slow at times.

👍 Noiret's transformation from a gentle doctor to a fierce avenger captivates audiences.

👎 Some viewers may find the film's slow build-up less engaging.

Philippe Noiret, moustache impeccable, bascule d’un médecin pépère en mode Terminator rural dès que les nazis touchent à sa famille. Le contraste est violent, comme si ton tonton sympa sortait la tronçonneuse après l’apéro. C’est intense, bouleversant, et parfois longuet… mais bordel, quand ça tape, ça tape. On sent chaque balle comme une claque dans la gueule. Romance, drame, vengeance : un cocktail qui te fout la boule au ventre, même si ça prend son temps pour décoller. Et Romy Schneider, ben… Romy Schneider. Lumière dans la noirceur. Bref, un film Culte sur la tragédie d’Oradour-sur-Glane…
