Like many names used by veterans of the anticolonial war against France, Chadli's name is a nom de guerre. Algeria's television-wise reporters have another name for him, "Jeff Chandler," after the white-haired and rugged-looking Hollywood actor of the 1950s.

The first part of this film follows Collins around Vancouver as he carries out his dirty work. For the fourth year he's shooting for Man of the Year, and even though he's a bit behind there's little doubt as you watch him operate that...
