Henry Silva and Woody Strode play a couple of tough mob hitmen from New York who arrive in Milan to kill a small time pimp, which leads to the mystery of why such an insignificant criminal is worth the attention of such heavy hitters. This gritty action/crime flick has a solid story and is filled to the brim with lengthy brawls, exciting chases and explosive gunfights...plus a 6 year old girl getting run over by a milk truck. Good Times.

Classic influential Italian crime flick from the 70's that features one of the greatest car chases ever put to film. Woody Strode and Henry Silva's killer characters were the basis for Tarantino's Jules and Vincent in Pulp Fiction.

Even if there's nothing that really stands out (except for one great chase) it's top notch entertainment from the first minute to the last. At the end I couldn't believe that 95 minutes already passed by.

It's Pulp Fiction but with a bunch of really ugly guys shouting in Italian.

Action sequences are decent between the most contrived dialogue and the most obvious manipulations you can imagine.

Por ordem da Cosa Nostra estreava há exatos 50 anos na Itália. Nem faz tanto tempo que o revi, mas amo demais o Fernando Di Leo para deixar passar em branco e isso aqui é puro tesão cinematográfico. Box Versátil Eurocrime Volume 1.

Not quite as good as the first in Di Leo's very loosely based trilogy is enhanced by Adorf's performance and an absolutely superb and inventive chase scene. It's hard to see things in chase scenes that haven't been done before, but there are a few here. It's worth it for that if nothing else, but the rest of it is an enjoyable enough crime thriller.
