When a shipment of heroin disappears between Italy and New York, a small-time pimp in Milan is framed for the theft. Two professional hitmen are dispatched from New York to find him, but the real thieves want to get rid of him before the New York killers get to him to eliminate any chance of them finding out he's the wrong man.
A rough, grimy crime film set in Milan that keeps a dry, almost comic tone despite its violence. Mario Adorf plays the small-time pimp as a flailing underdog, while Henry Silva and Woody Strode bring a calm, menacing counterweight. The pace is quick, the scenes are short and hard-cut, and the film runs on street noise, cars and city outskirts.
Good for you if you like raw 1970s Italian genre films with grit, speed and a dash of black humor.
