French title – “Gardiens De L’ordre” / English title – “Sphinx”
This is not a direct translation of the French title into English, which would be “Guardians Of The Order”. I actually like the English title better – more in line with the film. Gardiens De L’ordre brings images of vigilantes, storm troopers, and knights templar to my mind. Sphinx actually is specific to the film, although Sphinx might bring to mind Egypt. In any case I would make “Le Sphinx” the French title and have “The Sphinx” be the English title.
It’s small. It’s round. It’s yellow. It glows in the dark. And it fires your brain into craziness. Sphinx is the newest platinum standard street drug that Julie and Simon need to find in order to dissolve the department cover up, which if it sticks, will cost them their police careers. They are on their own in pursuit of the drug suppliers and go undercover as drug dealers while performing desk duty at the police station. Still working at the police station gives them access to information and materials useful in catching the suppliers. Of course they are vindicated in the end and there were no real surprises in “Gardiens De L’ordre” – same situations seen in other films of this type.
