A Man Called Magnum (1977)


aka Napoli Si Ribella

Fast paced if slightly cheap poliziotteschi from director Michele Massimo Tarantini has rival factions of a crime family fighting over a missing shipment of drugs.
 Luc Merenda is the new police inspector transfered from Milan to Naples to combat the ever increasing crime rate.
 Enzo Cannavale is his appointed partner played mainly for laughs that seems at odds with the tone of the movie which is pretty violent at times.
 Franco Campino's excellent score accompanies the endless car chases and shootouts to great effect while the dubbing offers a few unintentionally amusing moments.
 The end result is an average yet enjoyable entry in the Italian crime genre, seen better seen worse.
