Raw Deal (1986)

A pretty run of the mill but efficiently entertaining action vehicle for Arnold Schwarzenegger in which he infiltrates the Chicago mob in a bid to bring it to it's knees.

There's some good action set pieces courtesy of director John Irvin and the likes of Sam Wanamaker, Darren McGavin and Robert Davi give the supporting cast a bit of gravitas.

Whilst watching it felt like this could easily have been a Poliziotteschi from the seventies starring the likes of Franco Nero or Maurizio Merli. The fact it's Italian produced (De Laurentiis) and written by Sergio Leone's screenwriters Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Donati adds credence to this thought.
