The real star of this very rare italian crime film is Messina and its harbour area. This is very low budget shot in the street by the same director as "reflections in Black".

its very brutal and also rather sleazy with several plots,not always connected,the principal one been a fathers  revenge,played by the director, of his daughters killing.

Messinna looks really well as does the mountains of Calabri in the backround.

Out of 10 i would give it a six for its sheer jest in spite of no budget.

Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
