action

Naples , where the underworld rules. Commissioner Betti, who works with unconventional methods, is primarily after the hitherto inviolable “General”, with support from a number of specialists. Despite the fearful silence of Doctor Gervasis, he is able to shed light on the events surrounding the torture of his wife, although false leads are left through burglaries and pawn sacrifices. A car dealer has to pay with his life not to want to pay protection money. Despite all his efforts, the general has to deal with his rival Capuano, who is also trying brutal actions to get his piece of the cake. A gang of bank robbers led by Casagrande also creates further confusion. Finally, Betti can use a secret meeting with two mafiosi to kill them and make it appear their responsibility.

criticism

"Hard police crime, the episodic structure of which primarily serves to string together acts of violence", so the lexicon of the international film . Vice judged in the country where the film was made: Basically, the stories are all the same. The directors often do a good job but don't add a personal touch. In short: have you seen one, have you seen all.

Remarks

The film song "A Man Before Your Time" is interpreted by the group Bulldog .
