Milano Calibro 9 (1972)

Directed by Fernando Di Leo
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, DVD, Raro Video)

Ugo is picked up by his old gang the day he is released from prison. They want $300,000 in cash he allegedly stole from their money running racket. Rocco is the heavy who follows him around, threatens him and beats him to a pulp whenever he gets the chance. Ugo takes refuge in the pop art apartment of his go-go dancer girlfriend. The police pick him up on a daily basis but don't have anything to hold him. Ugo may or may not have the money, but the plot twist ending is no surprise for smart viewers. Despite its reputation, this is a talky drama only occasionally interrupted by fairly tame violence.
