ThrillerActionCrime

Inspector Betti (Maurizio Merli) is transferred to Naples and immediately after his arrival receives a warm welcome from The Commandante (Barry Sullivan), the city's crime lord. Betti then goes on a personal mission against corruption and organized crime, and tries to force the syndicate out of town with any means necessary.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching dive into Naples' underbelly. Expect brutal action, a relentless pace, and a cynical view of justice. This is pure 70s crime grit, where the line between cop and criminal blurs.
