A tragic story about Missak Manouchian a young worker poet and a group of persecuted resistance fighters he leads in France during the German occupation. Underground, risking their lives, they become heroes and the number one targets of the French police. Using blackmail, torture, and encouraging anonymous denunciations they find twenty-two men and a woman who will be condemned to death in February 1944. In a final propaganda campaign, they are presented as an Army of Crime, their faces will be posted on walls throughout the cities and towns of France. These immigrants, who died for the nation, enter into legend.

The Observer - Andrew Pulver | Screenrush Barometer:  |
| 'Guédiguian manages to make this a worthy companion piece to Melville's resistance classic Army in the Shadows; the same remorseless dread stalks both.' |
| The Independent - Anthony Quinn | Screenrush Barometer: |
| 'A sombre and gripping account of guerrilla fighters in Paris during the Nazi occupation' |
