THE TOUGH ONES 1974 (GRINDHOUSE RELEASING) BLU-RAY

Another amazing Italian crime film.

Umberto Lenzi directes with his usual flair for non-stop action and over the top set pieces.

Maurizio Merli stars as a cop named Leonatdo Tanzi, who is sick of having his hands tied by the law while criminals run free and people die because of it.

Tanzi is the kind of cop who will slap around the suspects, shoot first and ask questions later and much more. In other words the kind of cops we really need in the world today. In this film he is after a top crime boss and will stop at nothing to bring him down.

It's ironic that Tanzi's girlfriend, Anna is a social worker who turns out the criminals as fast as Tanzi arrests them. Anna is, of course an exceptional beauty played by Maria Rosaria Omaggio.

There is a ton of action in this film and believe me, it never boring. Everything just clicks so well in this film and while Merli is very good in the lead role of Tani it is Thomas Milian as Vincenzo Moretto, the insane hunchbacked , deformed psycho killer who really steals the show.

This is great fun and shouldn't be missed. The BLU-RAY presentation is beautiful and I recommend you check it out as soon as possible.

The rest of the cast includes Arthur Kennedy, Ivan Rassimov, and of course, Luciano Pigozzi.
