Two Men in Town is a 1973 French film directed by José Giovanni, a former convict turned filmmaker. The movie is a crime drama that explores the theme of redemption and the struggle of convicts to start a new life. The story revolves around Gino (Alain Delon), a former bank robber who has just been released from prison after serving a seven-year sentence. He is determined to turn over a new leaf and lead a honest life. However, it is easier said than done, as he faces a constant struggle to find a job due to his criminal record.

As Gino tries to settle down, he is constantly haunted by his past mistakes. He is also being pursued by the ruthless police inspector Dupont (Michel Bouquet), who is convinced that Gino is up to no good.

In the meantime, Gino is helped by his friend and mentor, the old ex-con, Germain Cazeneuve (Jean Gabin). Cazeneuve is a wise and experienced man who has been in the prison system for most of his life. He is a source of support and guidance for Gino, and tries to keep him on the straight and narrow path.

Things take a turn for the worse when Gino's former accomplice, the unscrupulous and violent informant, the Vieux (Gérard Depardieu), shows up. The Vieux wants Gino to return to a life of crime and join him on a new heist. Gino initially refuses, but he is slowly drawn into the dangerous world of robbery once again.

As the story unfolds, the tension builds up, and Gino realizes that he is in grave danger. He has to decide whether to remain true to his new way of life or give in to the temptation of easy money.

The acting performances in Two Men in Town are exceptional, with Alain Delon and Jean Gabin delivering powerful and nuanced performances. Mimsy Farmer also gives a strong performance as Gino's love interest, Nathalie.

The film's screenplay, written by the director himself, is gripping and poignant. It touches on issues such as the flawed justice system, police brutality, and the difficulties of reintegration into society faced by ex-convicts.

The direction and cinematography are also impressive, with Giovanni using a gritty and realistic tone that captures the authenticity of the story. The film's score by Philippe Sarde is also noteworthy, adding to the tension and atmosphere of the movie.

Overall, Two Men in Town is a compelling and intense drama that tackles complex themes and showcases remarkable performances. It is a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and French cinema.
