Bloody Hands of The Law (1973)
Little-known and poorly documented euro-crime that merits re-discovery. That said, any italian actioner from the early 70’s with a typically grooved-out score from, Stelvio Cipriani and a muscular performance from Philippe Leroy is going to be anything but a time waster; and surprisingly Klaus Kinski turns in a restained performance as a blow torch-weilding hitman, who cuts a dashing, violent swathe through the proceedings in his hep-cat sunspex. It might well have been this film that got me to re-view many other titles with that most swarthy of enigmatic actors, Philippe Leroy…Methinks it it time for a Leroy retrospective!
