Sequestro di persona

ISLAND OF CRIME is an early Italian crime flick shot on sunny Sardinia, where British tourist Charlotte Rampling is travelling with her boyfriend before his sudden kidnapping. Franco Nero is the kindly stranger who helps her in her quest to rescue him, and it all gets very murky and conspiratorial along the way. This well-shot movie makes good use of the physical presence of the actors, but I found it limited in comparison to gialli of the era, and the real-life animal cruelty is a bit unforgiveable.
