Rogue City

Rogue City is a 2020 French crime film directed and written by Olivier Marchal and starring Lannick Gautry, Stanislas Merhar, David Belle and Kaaris. It was released on Netflix on 30 October 2020. Set in Marseille, it is about an anti-gang police unit that is investigating a mass shooting at a nightclub, amidst tension from an internal affairs investigation for their unorthodox methods, friction with the rival narcotics unit, rumors of corruption, and threats from gang leaders. Plot When a heavily-armed Marseille anti-gang squad escorts gang patriarch Paul Maranzano between prisons, he asks to visit his wife in the hospital, who has terminal cancer. At her request, he suffocates her with a pillow to end her suffering. A gang does a mass shooting at a nightclub party, targetting a rival gang, killing nine attendees. One of the attacking gang members, Rizzo, is knocked down by gunfire (stopped by his bulletproof vest), and cannot escape in the getaway car. He hides his machine gun and bulletproof vest in a dumpster and blends in with the victims. Given his gang connections, he is brought in to the police station for questioning. During Detective Costa's interview with Rizzo, he fakes a fight, murders him and plants his service gun in Rizzo's hand. Detective Willy Kapellian, whose marriage is failing, is regularly drinking excessively. One night, he gets drunk and drives away with a female officer, only to get shot at by gang members (he does not see their identity). It is police protocol to take a blood sample after a shooting incident. Fearing that Will will lose his job, Captain Richard Vronski volunteers to take the blood test in his place. When the new Police Chief learns of Vronski's action, he suspends him.
