The Berserker (Original title: Milano odia: la polizia non può sparare ) is an Italian crime film with Tomás Milián and Henry Silva in the leading roles. Umberto Lenzi directed the film in 1974; It was first published on video in German-speaking countries in 1982.

action

Giulio Sacchi is unemployed, unwilling to work, has no family ties and is quick to use machine guns at hand. He lets himself be hired to drive a robbery, plans to kidnap an industrialist's daughter, commits murders and finds two like-minded people in Vittorio and Carmine, with whom he kidnaps Marilù, said daughter of the industrialist Porrino, and rapes her.

The police consider the kidnappers to be unpredictable and advise not to pay a ransom. The orgy of violence continues; Giulio himself kills his lover Jone, who knows something about the crimes. The ransom is paid after all. Giulio kills the hostage and his accomplices. After his arrest, he was released for lack of evidence. However, Commissioner Grandi is convinced of his guilt and kills him on his own account.

criticism

"Cheap and downright cynical action film" was the verdict of the lexicon of international film . “Non-stop violence and effective action scenes are the reliable ingredients of Umberto Lenzi's crime films, even if they follow a conventional pattern,” says “Vice”.

The credible representations of Milián (according to their own statements, “fueled by alcohol and drugs”) and Silva were particularly emphasized.

Remarks

As the original title suggests, the outdoor shots were shot mainly in Milan .
