The performances of Delon and Conte (it was to be one of Conte's last) somewhat redeem this tedious, violent, and ultimately pointless gangster drama from Italy. Delon plays a respected, loyal Mafia hit man who decides he's had enough of killing and announces his retirement. The news does
not sit well with the bosses of the four top mob families because they feel that Delon knows too much about their operations to be trusted outside the fold. The mob chieftains agree to kill Delon to ensure his silence. When Delon's wife and child are blown up in the family car (a bomb that was
meant for him), the former killer vows vengeance. The rest of the film sees Delon trappi...
