Release Date TBC, Pre-order coming soon.
Tough cop Giorgio (Luc Merenda, Torso) doesn’t like to play by the rules, going as far as gunning down a ruthless criminal in broad daylight. After he’s suspended from the force and his boss is murdered, he goes on a brutal undercover dive into the criminal underworld to expose a criminal organisation with no respect for authority. Starring Richard Conte (The Godfather) with a powerhouse score by the great composers Guido and Maurizio De Angelis (Street Law, The Big Racket), this blistering Italian crime classic blazes onto Blu-ray with every car chase and gunshot more mind-blowing than ever. Directed by cult filmmaker Sergio Martino (Hands of Steel, 2019 After the Fall of New York).

I think upon reflection this might be the best euro crime film ever made. I've seen a hell of a lot of them over the years and for a long time I rated a couple of the Lenzi ones over it but it occurred to me lately that this one is the pinnacle.
