The SassyFlix Take

Stelvio Massi trades in the six-shooters for switchblades, sending former mercenary Marco Russo straight into the sweaty heart of a poliziotteschi turf war. With Carlos Monzón leading the charge and nods to both spaghetti westerns and union-busting noir, this is class struggle—Italian style, with body counts to match.
