L'uomo della strada fa giustizia

Silva plays a businessman whose daughter gets killed in a bank heist. He flips out and goes after the crooks responsible. This may sound like a high-octane revenge thriller, and fans of Lenzi's eurocrime efforts will be expecting just that, but it's actually a slow paced, character driven drama. There's little action to speak of; instead, we get a lot of dialogue and extreme close-ups of Silva looking alternately happy and enraged. It's a weird experience, having been made in the midst of Lenzi's more action-fueled movies, but it's a movie well worth seeing, if only for Silva's thoughtful and emotional performance. Also, it's worth mentioning that the inciting bank heist sequence is classic Lenzi, and while I was longing for more action after that scene, I was still pleased with the dramatic events that followed.
