Plot

Fresh out of the joint, young Ricco is eager to get home to see his family. He was cut loose a year early for good behavior, but it certainly wasn't good behavior that got him in the big house in the first place.

Sinekatalog’s take

A brisk crime film about an ex-convict returning to a past that still has claws. It is rough, direct and built on genre staples. Best for fans of 1970s European crime action.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
