Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Le Samouraï, known in the US as The Godson or Cop Out (no, not that Cop Out), is a 1967 French crime thriller directed by Jean-Pierre Melville and starring Alain Delon. It follows a perfectionist hitman named Jef Costello as he sets up an alibi, performs a hit, and then tries to get away with it, all while staying true to his Bushido-like Code of Honor. He eventually finds himself on the run from both the police and his former employers.Le Samourai is famous for being one of the first films to deal with the existential hero, and for deconstructing many of the tropes of the crime thriller and assassin genres. | |

The Alibi: Before performing a hit, Jef Costello sets up an alibi: he asks his mistress to pretend that he has spent the night with her. Just after the hit, he goes to his mistress's flat to bump into her boyfriend as he comes back home. Then he goes to an underground gambling parlour. | |

Batman Gambit: Jef plants himself outside his girlfriend's apartment when her other lover comes home before making his hit. Later, when the lover is brought in to identify Jef, he recognizes and fingers him, thinking he's nailing him for a crime, when in reality he's offering him an airtight alibi for the murder. | |

Badass in a Nice Suit: In a suit, tie, trenchcoat, white gloves, and perfectly positioned fedora at all times. Jef Costello cares as much about his appearance as he does about his alibi. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Le Samouraï / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Jef Costello is very much a Type IV. He is a hitman who doesn't really do any heroic deeds throughout the story though he doesn't hurt any innocents and does choose to protect his alibi rather than leave her to die. | |
