Movie Info

A by-the-books cop struggling to bust a brutal protection racket in Rome is forced to throw the rules out the window when the vicious gang attempts to cement their status by moving into the drug trade in director Enzo G. Castellari's tough-talking poliziotteschi. As the citizens of Rome continue to suffocate in the cold grip of fear, it's up to determined inspector Nico Palmieri (Fabio Testi) to take back the streets from the murderers and rapists who terrorize the population and give the cruel thugs a hard lesson in street justice. When the only language that the criminal element understands is violence, Inspector Palmieri is more than willing to communicate in terms that will get the message across.

    So stupid and idiotic. Car crash scene is hilarious though.

    Enjoyable Italian crime thriller. Given it's country of origin and being made in the 70s it's got those cheesy elements - slow-mo shoot-outs, awkward robotic fighting and bad English dubbing - but it's all good fun and quite gritty and violent with influences from the likes of Dirty Harry and Death Wish among others. I found it quite entertaining all the way through despite being far from perfect. It develops it's own style with exciting direction from Enzo Castelleri.
