In an early announcement to retailers, Arrow Films have revealed that they are planning to bring to Blu-ray directors Olivier Marchal (36 quai des orfèvres, MR 73) and Frédéric Schoendoerffer's (Secret Agents) popular French TV Series Braquo (2009), starring Jean-Hugues Anglade, Nicolas Duvauchelle, and Joseph Malerba. The preliminary release date set by the distributors is April 30th.
A dark realistic cop series from world-famous filmmaker and former police office Olivier Marchal, Braquo (slang for heist) follows a squad of Paris cops who exist in the blurred boundaries at the very edge of the law, often using violence and intimidation to get the job done. The lives of these officers change radically when their squad leader, falsely accused of corruption, commits suicide. Determined to clear his name they start an investigation of their own, only to find that the police department itself stands in their way.
