Milano trema: la polizia vuole giustizia (1973) – Film Review
Luc Merenda goes full Dirty Harry in this rather weak poliziottesco with some intended political flavour and trying too hard on providing us with some thrilling car chases.

With a clear influence from William Friedkin’s classic The French Connection (1971), Enzo G. Castellari directs this irregular but very enjoyable poliziottesco with Franco Nero on the lead as Commissioner Belli and (here one of the clear connections to The French Connection) Fernando Rey as an aging mob boss.
This revenge poliziottesco lead by Alain Delon is the epitome of an “OK” film. Not much to root for and not much to bash about.
In this dystopian-noir, Jean-Luc Godard provides his head-on criticism of technologism and the threat that it might represent towards eradicating human individuality and emotion.
Short and straight-to-the point film that goes by quickly just like a cold breeze in the Mongolian desert that overtakes the screen.
