Confessions of a Police Captain (1971)


Avco Embassy Pictures
Directed by Damiano Damiani
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Avco Embassy)

Government corruption in Sicily is the theme of this Italian-made police drama. Franco Nero is the idealistic young district attorney. He clashes with the cynical police chief Martin Balsam, who after years of dealing with corruption takes matters into his own hands. They are both after the leader of the local mafia. Their investigation leads to high ranking legal and political figures. It's mostly talk punctuated by occasional violence, and frequently bogs down in lengthy flashbacks.
