Enjoyable vigilante action thriller from Enzo G. Castellari, staring Franco Nero. Feels like a riff/cash in on Death Wish, but was in fact made before the release of Winner's film - according to Nero, the two films were in production at around the same time. Plenty of action - pretty much non stop from the off in fact - street crime, car chases and of course violence, as you'd expect from Castellari. Very light on flesh though, and indeed females are in very short supply generally, even Barbara Bach, the female 'lead', hardly gets any screen time at all. The always reliable Guido and Maurizio De Angelis provide a lively, and generally very good soundtrack. Best viewed in it's full uncut glory, there have been a few different versions over the years, but the complete version is freely available now. Acting & direction are solid, but it must be said there are a fair few superior Poliziotteschi films from the same period.
