Movie review
From Time Out London
As in ‘Milano Calibro 9’, the final installment in Di Leo’s ‘Milieu trilogy’ begins cold with a prologue of grisly violence – in this case, Silva’s button man bazookas a screening room full of mobsters. With the family heads pushed into exile by government crackdowns, Silva’s attack also detonates all-out pan-Mafia warfare. As the killers head for the mattresses, the 1972 movie rather cynically attempts a larger sociopolitical context: ‘We’re all becoming Vietnamised,’ laments a police chief.Author: JWin
