ROME ARMED TO THE TEETH
Here is an older review of mine I dig from the crypts just for you! My reviews sure have gotten a lot more wordy lately Original Title : Roma a mano armata Year : 1976 Director : Umberto Lenzi Writer : Umberto Lenzi (story), Dardano Sacchetti (screenplay) IMDb : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075152/ Genre : Polizia "Me, I'm protected by Satan. I'm shitting lead." Synopsis: A tough, violent cop who doesn't mind bending the law goes after a machine-gun-carrying, hunchbacked psychotic killer. Hmm, not sure if that covers it so well, but oh well. I thought this was a solidly acted, fun film. Maurizio Merli plays Commissioner Leonardo Tanzi , a role similar to his roles in Napoli Violenta (another Lenzi film) and Roma Violenta (Commissario Betti). These movies must have been filmed around the same times (1975-1976). Tenzi is rough and a bit vigilante, but not as much so as his Betti character. We do get to see quite a few Merli chop-punches and lots of gritted teet...
