Fans of Dallesandro and the Italian crime drama are in for familiar territory of the genre but not of the performer. Ordinarily onscreen for his sex appeal, seeing him make a ruthless turn as a violent gangster was and still is a startling sight to behold. Occasionally the film’s collection of men-in-suits crime meetings can become tedious and the finale’s landing is a bit shaky, but overall’s rags to riches tale of a rising crimelord delivers audiences a Dallesandro they haven’t seen before that oddly emerges as one that is as much about the character as it is about the actor playing him. Not a masterpiece but as close to a confessional for Dallesandro onscreen as viewers are likely to ever get.
