Borderline

Borderline (2014) is a French TV thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Olivier Marchal — a former police officer who later made 36th Precinct and MR 73, and who knows exactly what this world looks like from the inside.

Based on the autobiography of Christophe Gavat, former chief of police in Grenoble, the film follows a superintendent played by Bruno Wolkowitch: 25 years without a single official complaint, then four days in custody accused of protecting a drug network. No car chases, no shootouts — just interrogation rooms, institutional pressure and the slow unraveling of a man who built his identity around the badge. Jacques Perrin appears in a supporting role. Marchal's real-world background is exactly what makes this feel less like a TV procedural and more like something that actually happened. Stream Borderline online on iFILM.
