The Boss

Another exciting Italian crime thriller directed by Fernando Di Leo, director of Caliber 9. All the characters are scum, even the supposedly innocent kidnapped daughter. The movie opens with a ridiculous mafia hit involving a movie theater and a grenade launcher shot at close range. These scenes of over-the-top violence are what make the film great. There’s another mob hit at a construction site that goes from one victim to the next in ever more silly death scenes. The movie end with a “to be continued” title but I don’t know if there is a sequel.
