My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? Maybe.
This better than average Italian crime film from the 70s (a sub genre called Poliziotteschi) features a good deal of action and it is spread throughout to pepper the excitement value. It's a pretty fast paced film that delivers the crime goods. There's even a sweet breather at a bar...
Man, where the hell is this joint? Road trip! This picture has all of the ingredients to making a good Poliziotteschi like a groovy action score and even a little nudity which is something you don't see often enough in this genre but it's almost always welcome. I like a little sleaze in my 70s crime pictures. Hell I like a little sleaze in just about everything (come on, Disney, step it up a little, will ya?). Like every genre there are turkeys, gems and a whole lot in between. If you're into the genre or you want to try something different in the crime/action genre, give this one a shot. Chances are you'll dig it.
