🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Sergio Martino constructs a gritty poliziottesco that relies on the tense social climate of 1970s Italy. The film explores institutional decay through brutal street confrontations and claustrophobic police station politics.

What lingers after the credits is a sense of pervasive cynicism, amplified by the raw visual style and unexpectedly harsh narrative turns. It's a world where justice and vengeance become indistinguishable. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Steno

Best Watched

Watch late at night with the lights dimmed to fully absorb the grimy tension of its Milanese streets.
