Directed by Umberto Lenzi (but not listed on Spout!)
Umberto Lenzi directs this incredible crime film with nonstop action and his incredible talent for pessimistic cinema. Maurizio Merli stars as Lieutenant Berni, who is in charge of transporting a mafia criminal and key witness to New York in order to finger the Sicilian Boss for murder and have him expedited back to Italy. It won't be easy! Merli can't trust anyone as the local mob tries to beat him to Rome and kill them both! One attack after another as they go from claustrophobic car chases to snipers, to trains and even the airport! And that's just the beginning! New York is even worse! Some incredible twists, great characterization and even a sexy love interest with the beautiful Laura Belli! This is what Italian Crime Cinema is all about! Let's not forget the incredible jazzy score by Franco Micalizzi!
