In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Tano Cimarosa plays grieving father of his baby daughter who was ran over by a car full of violent criminals.So he decides to avenge death of his child by gorily killing them one by one.Al Cliver plays violent Maurizio Merli-like inspector who tries to get rid off thugs from Messina.Pretty good and sleazy vigilante thriller with several nasty scenes of violence and rape/rape attempt plus a healthy dose of full-frontal nudity.The film looks extremely cheap and is so trashy and exploitative that it truly has to be seen to be believed.I must say that I enjoyed this one more than Cimarosa's giallo "Reflections In Black".Good to see Paola Quattrini as the rich kidnap victim.So if you are in the mood for Italian "Death Wish" give this exploitation classic a look.Favourite kill scene:Tano stabs to death gang's leader during the shower.8 death hunts out of 10.
The real star of this very rare italian crime film is Messina and its harbour area. This is very low budget shot in the street by the same director as "reflections in Black".its very brutal and also rather sleazy with several plots,not always connected,the principal one been a fathers revenge,played by the director, of his daughters killing.Messinna looks really well as does the mountains of Calabri in the backround.Out of 10 i would give it a six for its sheer jest in spite of no budget.
