I found the movie profoundly emotional. The side story with the wife and the lover gets an insight into Jean Paul Belmondo's character's personality. It is a bit far fetched that his character would go to such lengths to accomplish what he accomplished in the end, however, you spend so much time in prison for standing by your country and see how you will react. I think that the suspension of disbelief in this movie is not too hard. The ending is also excellent. When the movie ends you realize how much you felt for the main character. The soundtrack is also excellent and it adds to the overall emotionality of the movie.
