1976-100m.
d. Tonino Valerii
Fabio Testi plays a stuntman turned "Gorilla": a bodyguard. He is soon in over his head when his boss is subjected to threats and extortion. Can he learn on the job and save the boss and his daughter or is it all a set-up and he got the job because of his inexperience? Tonino Valerii was better known for his westerns, but does a masterful job here. Co-star Al Lettieri brings the grit and honesty he brought to so many roles in the 70's before passing away all too early in 1976. This was one of his last films.
+1 star for Al Lettieri the patron saint of 1970's thugs
+1 star for black boots embossed with eagles
+1 star for driving a car through a car carrier
+1 star for near death by elevator
Bottom line
4 stars
