The ice-cold killer (original title: Porci con la P 38 ) is an Italian crime film from 1978. The German-language premiere was on video.
action
The capo of a syndicate arranges his succession by dividing his empire into three equal leaders. Max Astarita gets kidnapping, John Forsythe prostitution, Fred Huston the drug business. However, Astarita is not happy with his part and after the capo dies, kills his two competitors. Police lieutenant Morris, supported by his assistant Olden, came across a lighter by chance that could convict the hitherto unsuspected Astarita of the crime. So he kidnaps the policeman's daughter in order to blackmail his wife into stealing the evidence from her husband's office. Morris can prevent this act as well, but cannot hold Astarita responsible, who is killed by his greedy lover. In the final duel, Morris can shoot them and then hug his daughter again.
criticism
It is a “miserably written and staged action thriller,” said the lexicon of international films , and Karsten Thurau adds: “The film is a catastrophe. Not only that the plot is completely fake [...]; The static camera work and the almost complete lack of background music also make this strip unbearable. " Roberto Curti also hardly leaves a good hair on the film, the direction of which he calls "hopelessly clumsy, dull zooms and poor tempo".
Remarks
The gross profit in Italy was 59 million lire . The outdoor shots took place in Piedmont .
