With legends Charles Bronson (Death Wish, Once Upon a Time in the West) and Telly Savalas (Horror Express, Lisa and the Devil) on board, director Sergio Sollima (Devil in the Brian, Revolver) is able to serve up a full-tilt poliziottesco feature rammed twists and turns, tension and balls to the wall action packed sequences. After being betrayed by his girlfriend Vanessa, hit-man Jeff Heston (Bronson) is shot and left for dead by Coogan, his one-time business associate. But after serving time in prison on a trumped-up charge, Heston pursues his mistress and would-be killer to New Orleans in search of revenge. Yet another fabulous entry among the plethora of Italian crime thrillers, Violent City will not disappoint lovers of this entertaining European sub-genre.
