I would have loved to see Bud Spencer in serious and dramatic roles like the one in Torino Nera. It’s not a film that stands out significantly from the multitude of crime films released in Italy during that period, but it still manages to entertain, and it does that nicely. despite the writing not being high quality in some parts, especially with the character of Rosario. I can't find the soundtrack. Anywhere. I must admit that I occasionally rewatch the film just to listen to it again.
Set in Sicily, this violent crime drama tells the tale of an Italian cop who heads to a small island town to look into the death of a construction supplier. Once there he is shocked by the influence the Mafia has over the people and even himself.

Croswell’s actions shed light on the massive web of corruption and changed the face of law enforcement forever.
