Pauline Kael The New Yorker 07/07/2022
The director, Elio Petri, tightens the hold on us as the hero becomes more desperately helpless and we begin to realize that there is no way out. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 09/30/2024

…as dour, serious and old-school as the title suggests…culturally specific, well performed and dominated by two iconic performers, Gian Maria Volonté and Irene Papas… a classic Italian crime movie of the 60's... Go to Full Review Pamela Jahn Electric Sheep 09/27/2017

05/31/2013 Atmospheric (and very political) story of small town mafia and society in Sicily. The English language release title is possibly my favourite title of all time. Sums up the film nicely. See more 01/13/2013 Didn't quite get it.. See more 07/22/2010 I LOVE Elio Petri + Gianmaria Volonté. They are just the best combination in Italian films . possibly better than Fellini-Mastroianni, I dare to say. See more 01/12/2008 Loosely based on Sciascia's novella of the same name, Petri gives us a sweeping vista of Sicily in the late 60s, in all its palm tree laden brutality. Fabulous Bacalov score.
