Directed by Franco Prosperi in 1976 (not listed on SPOUT!)
Lovelock stars as Massimo, a young undercover cop with a taste for violence and a thirst for revenge! Massimo gets himself arrested and quickly infiltrates the ranks of the underworld figure serving a sentence. Eventually a breakout is planned and Massimo is to be included. Just about as soon as they hit the street an attempt is made on the boss’ (Martin Balsam) life. Massimo acts quickly in helping to save him and that’s the in he has been waiting for. The hope of the police and our hero is that he can dig deep enough into the organization to bring them all crashing down at the perfect moment! And there are other reasons behind Massimo’s willingness to do whatever it takes; when he was a fresh rookie some racketeers on the run shot his mother in the back causing her to become handicapped for the rest of her life. If those men are found there’ll be hell to pay! The action in this fast-paced Italian crime thriller never seems to stop! Car chases, gun battles (splashy ones at that thanks to the talents of Giuseppe Ferranti), vicious fights… It comes on like a speeding train! Along with all the violent action is the strength of Balsam’s performance, just as expected! The soundtrack’s crime-jazz is urgent and cool, especially during the chases! Sommer is on hand throughout the later half of the movie to provide, among other things, some of the nudity and though her role is significant it is essentially a cameo.
