Tony, a mob loan collector, is dissatisfied with his station in life.

After meeting up with Napoli, another mob enforcer who’s just been fired from his job, the two hatch a plan. Together, they will con mob boss Manzari out of a fortune, after which they can retire and live in luxury. Manzari, however, is not about to let them go so easily.

Viewing Notes

Another Di Leo film, this one is definitely goofier in parts than the others. There’s still some pretty fun action going on, and the final massive shootout is ridiculously entertaining.

One thing about the Di Leo films is you see a lot of the same actors, albeit in different roles, from film to film. Watching a group of them back to back can be disconcerting at times.
