Violent Rome (1975)
My jaw stayed open from beginning to end

Man, Maurizio Merli has topped himself in the this CLASSIC police movie. The movie is about a cop, who is sick and disgusted by the way things are going, the criminals never seem to go to jail, and the bad guys seem to take advantage of the situation. That's where Merli comes in, he beats on them without flinching, his boss doesn't like it, so he kicks out of the force, but the story continues...( I won't give away anything, not even the suprise finally. Anyway, this according to me is a prime example of a classic Italian Pulp/thrash 70's movie. It's complete of old ladies, and children being shot in the face for no reason, rapes, angry people shooting each other in broad daylight. I give 2 thumbs up. You might remember Richard Conte in the movie "the Boss", here he plays a character that seems to have a heart(not a big heart, but at least he has one). Ray lovelock should have won an oscar as best supporting actor, and Maurizio Merli should have won a golden globe award
