…a 1980 thriller/drama that manages the difficult trick of offering a relatable, believable drama while also mixing in elements of the classic Euro-crime Poliziotteschi…Giuliano Gemma gives a huge performance in this terrific little film… Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E @AlainE 2d A very enjoyable psychological mafia crime movie. The main hero is a low level law breaker who is trying to survive the conflicting demands placed upon him. Very well photographed and acted. In essence all he wants to do is sell espressos and provide for his family. Unfortunately, previous episodes of his life put him in the orbit of real bad people. He has to act like one in order to save what he cherishes. A true Greek tragedy happening in South Italy. Good image restoration. On Prime. Thanks Mr Bezos for this gem! See more Read all reviews
