Dio, sei proprio un padreterno!

Most likable and enjoyable film that goes this way and that but with the ultra cool Van Cleef always there to keep our attention and steer us through the sex, the violence and the spills and thrills. Basically a tale of competing mobsters, this begins in very violent mode with liberal misuse of an electric drill and heavy duty fights and torture. Then Tony lo Bianco comes on the scene, an absolute nobody who charms his buffoon like way into the life of van Clef. So then we get elements of a buddy movie before the long and exciting road movie stuff which is splendidly done. Two other elements to help or hinder, however. One Tony who plays his craziness in a more and more slapstick way as the film progresses but he just about gets away with it because of his charm and the sobering influence of his meaner 'partner'. The other element to intrude and how could I have resisted mentioning her for so long is Edwige Fenech. In this case, unfortunately we see little of her. Or more precisely we see all of her but only for a couple of minutes, she is sadly underused but still makes glorious impact in and out of big hat and little clothes. Great fun and the violence at the start is strong.
