Street Law (1974)


Franco Nero is on top form here as a robbery victim frustrated with the inaction of the police who decides to take the law into his own hands.
 Obviously inspired by the success of Death Wish director Enzo G. Castellari has crafted an action packed thriller that gives Nero a chance to really go to town with his put upon character.
 Barbara Bach plays his long suffering girlfriend and Giancarlo Prete is the small time crook desperate to leave a life of crime and start his own garage, (you just know that's not going to end well).
 A fabulous score by the De Angelis brothers contains a couple of cracking songs
that are particularly memorable and will require another listen.
 Also released as Vigilante 2 but in no way connected to William (Maniac) Lustig's
Vigilante.
