The Cop (French: Un condé, Italian: L'uomo venuto da Chicago) is a 1970 French-Italian crime film directed by Yves Boisset that stars Michel Bouquet and Françoise Fabian. With considerable moral ambiguity, it tells the story of a committed policeman in a crooked force who concludes that the only way to avenge the murder of a colleague by criminals is to use their own weapons of beatings and shootings. Its portrayal of police corruption and violence led to demands from French government ministers for extensive cuts or a total ban and in the end the French release had a few cuts.
