One of Castellari's best. Engaging story, stylish direction

One of Castellari's best. Engaging story, stylish direction, hair-raising stunts and a powerful preformance from Franco Nero as the frustrated everyman hero who finds himself in over his head.

Il cittadino si ribella (The Citizen Rebels) finds

Il cittadino si ribella (The Citizen Rebels) finds Franco Nero getting beaten down by muggers, so he goes looking for his own justice, only to get beat down even worse until he finally learns how to get revenge. This was the first vigilante film in the poliziotteschi genre, as this made it to Italian theaters before Death Wish. Once Franco makes friends with a thug named Tommy (Giancarlo Prete), he finally gets to take out the people who done him dirty in spectacular fashion. I mean, there are absolutely no permits in this movie and tons of stuntmen — including Franco doing all of his own stunts — defying death just to entertain you. Plus, you get music by Guido and Maurizio DeAngelis (AKA Oliver Onions), which makes any movie better. And yeah! A pre-Ringo Barbara Bach! Strangely enough, while this movie inspired Vigilante, it was released in the UK as Vigilante 2. I pretty much love everything Enzo G. Castellari made, like Keoma, The Last Shark, 1990: The Bronx Warriors, The New Barbarians, Escape the Bronx, The Inglorious Bastards…just add this to the list. I mean, Franco Nero shotgun blasting scumbags while wearing a turtleneck? Let me see the movie made this year that can live up to that. Even the ending made me emotional.

Enzo Castellari does a pretty fun little take

Enzo Castellari does a pretty fun little take on Death Wish with this film, starring the always delightful Franco Nero and Barbara Bach, and I would most definitely recommend checking it out. Nero is stunned after the police drop the case in the violent crime perpetrated against him, so he takes the law into his own hands! What's not to love? Rent that mother!
