Italian Movie. Il Cittadino si ribella. Directed by Enzo G. Castellari- Italy. An action-packed
thriller about a frustrated crime victim who
takes the law into his own hands. Carlo
Antonelli (Franco Nero) is a normal, everyday
businessman until, one day, he finds himself on
the wrong side of three vicious bank robbers.
When he fails to comply with their demands, they
take him hostage and brutally assault him. With
the police apparently unwilling to do anything
about the attack. Much to the chagrin of his on-off
girlfriend Barbara (Barbara Bach), he is drawn
deeper and deeper into a web of corruption as he
enters the very bowels of Genoa's underworld.
Through painstaking detective work Carlo lures
the perpetrators and their criminal bosses into
a trap, but someone in the police department
tips them off.

Special mention
also has to be made of the film’s fearless stunt
crew, crashing cars and flying through windows
with reckless abandon. Every car chase sequence
in Street Law carries with it a sense of
palpable danger, as these were acts that could
actually kill its performers.
