Dear Fernado Di Leo, I had a tough time keeping track of all the plot twists. There were so many of them. But it was an entertaining film at the end of the day. You lack the finesse of Elio Petri or Melville. But it is OK. A lot of filmmakers would kill to make a film like this.
You did assemble a cast of real bad asses.
Gastone Moschin - well, I'll just say he was an odd choice for a leading man. Its not like he was bad or anything. But he would have been better off as one of the gangsters who get shot.
Barbara Bouchet was sexy as hell.
The exchanges between the capitalist and the communist police officers was interesting. That was your own stamp on the film.
The scene at the beginning was terrific. You used the background score to great effect. Though I did not like how it suddenly turns into a rock n roll tune.
I will check out more of your films.
Loved the background score by LUIS BACALOV, the over the top acting by MARIO ADORF, complicated plot and the nude ravishing cabaret dancing BARBARA BOUCHET. i also realized that GASTONE MOCHIN, the dour hero acted as fanucci in GODFATHER 2.
this is like an over the top version of JEAN PIERRE MELVILLE movie. there are a lot of similar themes and tropes. honor and friendship between gangsters. philosophizing police officers. women used as objects of sex. the violence is almost caricaturish. the first 15 minutes of the film is fucking outrageous. strongly recommend it.
Best Regards, Pimpin.
