Italian Crime Flick with Maurizio MERLI: Not His Best Performance

With his blond hair and moustache, the Italian actor Maurizio MERLI (1940 - 1989) is still the face of Italian crime films of the 1970s. However, his performance as the "Iron Inspector" in Stelvio MASSI's film is certainly not one of his best films.Mauro Mariani (Maurizio MERLI) is a tough inspector who is primarily after the kidnapping gangs that make the streets of the city unsafe. His boss, the chief inspector (Chris AVRAM), is of course not happy about this. When Mariani is once again on the hunt for criminals - even on a Sunday - with his closest comrade (Ettore MANNI), his police station is taken hostage by a young man. He is determined to take revenge on Mariani, who is not in the office. In addition, Mariani has arranged to meet his ex-wife (Janet AGREN) and their young son at the police station.Exciting and action-packed, as you would expect from Italian crime films of the POLIZIOTTESCO genre! And yet the film seems too contrived and does not develop the urgency that is otherwise found in many Poliziotteschi. In Italy, however, it grossed more than 847 million ITL at the box office. However, the film only reached foreign countries with the advent of the video cassette era in the early 1980s.

One Poliziotesschi too many for Stelvio & Maurizio?

In 1978 alone, director Stelvio Massi and lead actor Maurizio Merli made three Poliziotesschi together. In total, they each directed or starred in approximately 15-20 Poliziotesschi; which probably makes them the two most active and productive contributors of this magnificent sub-genre. It's only normal that not ALL those Poliziotesschi are equally brilliant. "Il Commissario di Ferro" is one of the weaker efforts of both gentlemen, but still an entertaining crime-thriller for the fans.The plot is very simple and straightforward. Tough, unorthodox copper Mariani is chasing after the fugitive kidnappers of a young girl, while and armed & frustrated junk walks into the police station and pulls out a gun. He wants to kill Mariani, because he holds the nicknamed "Iron Commissioner" responsible for his father's suicide in jail. The junk holds half the station hostage, but Mariani doesn't return and inadvertently even brings his ex-wife and son in danger. It seems like everyone is heading down to the station, except for the darn commissioner!There's nothing memorable about "Il Commissario di Ferro", but it's nevertheless professionally directed by Massi and featuring a handful of brutal shootouts, a virulent fight in a warehouse full of plastic, familiar faces in the supportive cast, and a few tense hostage situation moments.
