I can and it is.

Also, the picture detail is improved over the Redemption and the hiss - though still there - is at a much lower level. Oh yes...

I agree totally and the film is not a proper Giallo imo more like a low-key revenge potboiler.

But at least the luscious Giovanna Ralli is easy on the eye!

Besides the upcoming BRONX WARRIORS box set—Shameless plug alert—I would recommend STREET LAW (an absolute must in absence of Castallari's best crime flick HIGH CRIME on DVD), his original INGLORIOUS BASTARDS, KEOMA and THE BIG RACKET (but make sure you go for the US release as the UK disc is cut). These are definitely a great place to start.

The Heroin Busters is another good one.

Not a massive fan of that to be honest.

I like it, I think David Hemmings and Fabio Testi work well together and that plane chase at the end is great fun.

But yes, his other crime films are better.

Some good choices there, Paul.
