“Protection is the job. Justice is the goal. Death is the price.”
The film shows the difficulties of an honest, imperiled judge and his bodyguard of four men, trying to clean up a Sicilian town. Corrupt local politicians, working hand-in-hand with the Mafia, will stop at nothing to prevent exposure of their rackets.
A grim, atmospheric thriller where the weight of corruption presses down. It feels like a slow, inevitable march through a system designed to crush the good. Expect a palpable sense of danger and moral decay.
