Directed by Mario Caiano in 1976 (not found on Spout!)
Cassinelli is absolutely riveting as part of a foursome of robbers that attempts a daring bank heist which turns very bad. Cassinelli and Steiner stay behind after the cops show up and try to keep them distracted while the other two guys make their getaway with the cash. None of it goes down easy but, for the most part, everything works as it’s supposed to. The only problem is that the two ambitious flunkies now have a safe hideout, all the cash and way too much time to think. One convinces the other that a fifty-percent split is a lot better than any other option. Once everybody is together again betrayal is swift and Cassinelli is left for dead. This is not the case and before long they will be hunted like the dogs they are! This is a very intense Italian crime colossus that gives you everything you want and need! Excessive violence, car chases, nudity, and a cool soundtrack courtesy of Gianfranco Plenizio. Caiano’s films have garnered a lot of respect and it’s movies like Bloody Payroll that help illustrate why!
