Umberto Lenzis The Tough Ones (1976), starring Maurizio Merli and Tomas Milian, is a cornerstone of the Italian Eurocrime boom. With Merli as a hard-edged cop and Milian as a psychotic criminal, it delivers the brutal urban violence, corruption, and vigilante edge that define the poliziottesco tradition.

Umberto Lenzi, the legendary director of Cannibal Ferox, kicked off the Italian police film craze with this hyper-kinetic, ultra-violent, brain-blasting action thriller. Maurizio Merli stars as an Italian Dirty Harry, punching and shooting his way through the sleazy drug, sex, and crime infested cesspool of mid-70s Rome, on the trail of a sadistic, machine gun-toting hunchback, played by Tomas Milian (Brothers Till We Die).

Boasting a state-of-the-art 4K transfer of Lenzis uncensored directors cut, the new edition of The Tough Ones includes an incredible slate of special features and a Grindhouse Version of the US Brutal Justice release.

Från IMDB:
A tough, rule-bending cop pursues a maniacal, trigger-happy hunchback, a one-handed bank robber and their cronies in an effort to bring Romes most powerful crime lord to justice.
