An interesting hybrid of giallo and poliziotteschi put together with the typical skill that Martino demonstrated in some of his earlier work. The plot is quite twisty-turny, the actors are charismatic and the score has a proto-Goblin vibe to it. It also features a somewhat slapstick car chase featuring a seemingly physics-defying Citroën and some bizarre quasi-breakdancing - for some reason this doesn't feel out of place. Worth checking out.

Enjoyable poliziotteschi-giallo-comedy hybrid. Its biggest flaws is keeping the identity of the protagonist unclear for no other reason than to keep the viewer in the dark, and when it is revealed some of his actions doesn't make sense in hindsight.

A child prostitution themed poliziotteschi(/giallo) with goofy Italian comic relief to render the film difficult to define tonally. Still another nice blue collar thriller where the biggest evil lies among the wealthy and powerful. Martino was making a cop film (although it has some giallo-qualities): he wanted to name it "Violent Milan" but the production company fabricated a thriller title they thought would be more appealing.
