LA POLIZIA STA A GUARDARE

Cinemavixion Review

In "La polizia sta a guardare" (1973), director Roberto Infascelli delivers a gritty crime thriller set in a seemingly tranquil North Italian town. The film stars Enrico Maria Salerno as Commissioner Cardone, a man who takes on a ruthless criminal syndicate specializing in the kidnapping of wealthy youths. Salerno is supported by a capable cast including Lee J. Cobb and Jean Sorel. The narrative plunges Cardone into a dangerous conflict that threatens not only his career but also his personal life, exploring the high stakes and moral compromises inherent in law enforcement's fight against organized crime. With a plot that promises intense cat-and-mouse dynamics and a look at the corrupting influence of power and desperation, this Italian crime drama offers a compelling, albeit potentially bleak, cinematic experience.
