Totally with you on Confessions. Brilliant film with dialog which I felt was really well done, but yeah, definitely a drama more than an action piece. Love Street Law, but there are so many beat up prints of Death Rage out there, it's bound to lose something in translation. Still, some really cool set pieces in there, nonetheless! |
Delon makes for a fine assassin in
BG and i especially like the execution scene on board a moving train. Taut Duccio Tessari direction too coupled with a memorable music score imo.
The gorgeous Olga Karlatos pops up in
CB too if i'm not mistaken and i thought Martin Balsam and Franco Nero made a good double-act in
COAPC with Marilu Tolo looking lovely.
Nero was also great paired up with the likeable and much-missed Giancarlo Prete in
SL imo and this film also benefitted from the likes of the similarly departed Romano Puppo and Massimo Vanni in ruthless bad guy roles. Another solid soundtrack too.
DR had it's moments but PF's print was a pretty poor fullscreen affair and i don't know if any footage was missing from the film. Still, any old port in a storm as they say and i'd rather watch
DR this way than not watch it at all.

Agreed on the Massi Merlis and i look forward to checking out Lenzi's outings a.s.a.p.
