About
You may like this if you enjoy provocative 1970s Italian exploitation with counterculture satire and crime-drama danger; Not for you if sexual exploitation, harsh violence, or tonal whiplash are dealbreakers.
Pros: raw 1970s atmosphere; lively central duo; sharp social bite | Cons: uneven tone; sluggish stretches; very bleak turns
