"Movies don't get much more macho than Umberto Lenzi's The Tough Ones!" - Iam Jane, RockShockPop.com

"The quintessential 'Polizieschi' movie. It has all the ingredients necessary: Alfa Romeo cars, stereotypical bad guys, angry 'beat the system' cops and lashings of over the top violence." - Jonny Redman, Love Lock and Load

"There's plenty of innocents getting mowed down with machine guns, low-level criminals having their faces beaten in, incredibly energetic car chases, and so much more - all set to a wonderful score by Franco Micalizzi. A giant hit in its native Italy, it's a wild slice of Eurotrash, showcasing Lenzi at his best, and a perfect starting place for the genre if you're unfamiliar. You simply can't go wrong!" - Bruce Holecheck, Cinema Arcana

Umberto Lenzi, the legendary director of Cannibal Ferox, kicked off the Italian police film craze with this hyper-kinetic, ultra-violent, brain-blasting action thriller. Maurizio Meril stars as an Italian Dirty Harry, punching and shooting his way through the sleazy drug, sex and crime infested cesspool of mid-'70s Rome, on the trail of a sadistic, machine gun-toting hunchback, played by Tomas Milian (The Big Gundown).
