    Milano, and its same old trades and issues, awaits Ugo Piazza after serving three years in prison. on top of that, his acquaintances believe he stole them 300,000 dollars in the last job he did before his capture.

    First part of Fernando Di Leo's trilogia del milieu, with the trademarks of colourful violence, and hard-hitting socio-political dialectic about the grudges between the industrial north and the agricultural south.
    Italian poliziottesco (neo-noir) at its best.

    Hardboiled Poliziotteschi film from the early 70's. This is how its done. Its brutal and sadistic. And the characters are great. Gastone Moschine is the lead Ugo Piazza. He plays the character cool and laid back even when under threat. But the standout performance comes from Mari...( read more)o Adorf as the psychotic thug. This character is great and sadistic.
    This is the first film ive seen from director Fernando Di Leo and i cant wait to see his other two films in his Millieu crime trilogy. His style is great and he moved the story along fast without any boring down time that alot of Italian crime films suffer from.
