Nada
Also known as Nada, The Nada Gang is a lesser effort from director Claude Chabrol. A group of European terrorists calling themselves the Nada kidnaps an American ambassador. Their hideout is besieged by a sadistic police official and his minions. Thanks to the official's eagerness to pull the trigger, everyone winds up dead, including the ambassador. The Nada Gang was based on a novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Nada
Writer Jean-Patrick Manchette's leftist political thriller Nada receives a detached and darkly comic treatment from director Claude Chabrol. As he portrays the confusion and mayhem surrounding the kidnapping of the U.S. ambassador to France from a high-class Parisian bordello, the director seems to have little respect for both the revolutionaries and the French law enforcement. Apparently disinterested in the film's political agenda, Chabrol still manages to keep his film fast-paced and entertaining. However, the action sequences are handled in a deliberately absurd and grotesque fashion: a cop is hit right between the eyes by an anarchist's slingshot, rabbits are torn to shreds by the police fire during the siege of the farm where the terrorists are hiding. Satirizing both political sides, the film concludes that "Leftist and state-controlled terrorism ... are the two jaws of the same idiot trap." ~ Yuri German, All Movie Guide
