Paris Lockdown (2007)

Description

The last part of an informal trilogy including Crime Scenes (2000), and Secret Agents (2004) Claude (Philippe Caubere) is the boss of Paris. He is a brutal and violent psychopath who keeps a loose network of gangs and cliques together with a blend of terror and friendship. However, when a cocaine deal goes wrong and many of these gangs find themselves being bullied into chasing down people that Claude foolishly decided to trust, the cracks in his dominion start to become apparent to all as Claude's contacts in the police fail to tip him off about a raid resulting in his being sent down for a few years on gun-related charges. The boss' incarceration results in the different groups acquiring a greater level of autonomy, which in turn leads to the more ambitious groups rubbing up against those that were closer to the old seat of power. As Claude is no longer around to sort these disputes out and iron out the group's problems with his own particular brand of rape and murder, the groups start to wonder what life would be like without Claude and people who were once his friends begin to turn upon him.
