Violent Milan (1976)
9/10
the Noirish, 'Milano Violenta' remains an exhilarating example of unfiltered Euro-crime excess!
24 January 2014
The devilishly dishy Italian acting icon, Claudio Cassinelli is on murderously magnetic form in 'Milano Violenta', playing cynical, street tough brute, Raul Montalbani with an electrifying intensity! After a bungled heist leaves him wounded, separated from both his crew and ill-gotten loot, the vengefully convalescing, Raul swears to make amends! After revivifying himself with vats of J & B whiskey, and restoratively rogering his spectacularly nubile girlfriend, Layla (Silvia Dionisio), Raul ruthlessly tracks down his conniving compadres with all the delicacy of rabid hyena!

Determined to retrieve ALL his share of the money by any means necessary, Raul proceeds to viciously dispatch any man/woman/invertebrate unfortunate enough to cross his vengeful path with a single-minded ferocity! Maestro, Mario Caiano's vastly underappreciated, high-octane poliziottesco, 'Bloody Payroll' seethes with a blistering bellicosity, this thrilling, increasingly sadistic, balaclava-blasting crime classic climaxes with a screen-meltingly savage showdown between the sociopathic, Montalbani, and the ever decreasing members of his treacherous gang! Generously peppered with screeching bullets, splashy squibs, bloody beat-downs, and audacious-looking vehicular carnage, the Noirish, 'Milano Violenta' remains an exhilarating example of unfiltered Euro-crime excess! And the exceptionally lively, block-rocking themes by Pulsar Ltd are certainly no less funky than the exquisite Italian decor, pristine vintage fashions, and delicious Dionisio's dynamite bod!
