I kinda miss the times when you could watch violent Eurocrime thrillers featuring chases in the most comically tiny cars filled to the rim with three or four burly passengers.
This was filmed in Bari and in my younger years in the mid-1980s I once visited the place while hitchhiking through Southern Italy. My abiding memory from it is when I was sitting on a park bench and on another bench next to me there was an elderly lady with…
Wow, just noticed how many awful ratings this film has, yet for me this one as well as the first HUMAN CENTIPEDE are some of the most important films of this still young century.
