Review
It was a match made in heaven (or hell, for that matter): Umberto Lenzi's cynical attitude towards violence made him one of Poliziottesco's ideal directors and gave chameleon-like Tomas Milian ample room to become one of the genre's biggest stars. --Roberto Curti, Italian Crime Filmography 1968-1980
ALMOST HUMAN: Lenzi's masterpiece... Tomas Milian gives a genuinely scary performance in one of the best and most brutal films of the genre. --Taste Of Cinema
FREE HAND FOR A TOUGH COP: A bullet-riddled golden era favorite... It holds a special place in history as the debut of Milian's 'Monnezza'; it's also Lenzi at the peak of his crime movie powers. --Mondo Digital
