The explosive second film in Fernando Di Leo’s Milieu Trilogy (following 1972’s Caliber 9) is an Italian action classic that was a major influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction (1994). When a shipment of heroin disappears between Italy and New York, a small-time pimp in Milan (Mario Adorf, The Tin Drum) is framed for the theft. Two professional hitmen (Woody Strode and Henry Silva) are dispatched from New York to rub him out, while the real thieves are rushing to kill him first so the Americans don’t learn the truth. When the pimp's wife and daughter are murdered in the course of the manhunt, he swears revenge on everyone. Presented in a 4K restoration from the original negative.
