My rating: 6/10
Will I watch it again? No.
I reckon I've seen this at least twice in the past twenty years and it's the same every time. Milian is bland as a sourpuss cop with a near constant frown interrupted with a small cigar in the corner. He's got a good reason for being dour but he's no fun to be around. His boss and co-workers were more interesting than him. The action is OK but nothing memorable. I liked the ending but that's about it. I remember hearing that Milian died last year but I was surprised to see that his top two co-stars, Gastone Moschin (who was great in MILANO CALIBRO 9 (1972) and Ray Lovelock also died last year. How about that? The three leads in this picture dying within months of each other.
