The Outsider (1983)

When the Marseille police struggle to dismantle the city's rampant drug networks, Paris dispatches their ace up the sleeve - the unorthodox and relentless drug-enforcement savant, Philippe Jordan. Assigned the Herculean task of crippling the seemingly invincible mob boss, Sauveur Mecacci's empire, Jordan plunges into the city's seedy underworld. Mecacci, a master of evasion, has long slipped through the fingers of local authorities, but Jordan’s unconventional tactics may just be the key to his downfall. However, Jordan's arrival in Marseille is far from a silent affair. His brusque methods stir up a storm, causing chaos in the tranquil city, and drawing ire from all corners - from the Mayor's office to irate citizens. Even Mecacci's lawyers, trembling with fear, demand Jordan's removal. Each backlash, each death threat, only fuels Jordan's resolve, assuring him that he's inching closer to his target. But, Jordan's fight against Mecacci is a double-edged sword. He must not only endure the constant threats on his life but also needs the green-light from the local police bosses to let his law enforcement style run wild. The Outsider (1983) is a thrilling ride through the grimy streets of Marseille, where danger lurks at every corner and victory comes at a steep price. The question remains, will Jordan survive the onslaught long enough to bring Mecacci to justice?
