Product: Bad Cop Chronicles #1 - Confessions of a Police Captain [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
CORRUPTION--ITALIAN STYLE
This Damiano Damiani policier seems to fly beneath the radar of critical attention. It doesn't say anything new really, but it says it a very stylish way. The duel of wits between Franco Nero's straight-arrow (and slightly priggish) prosecutor and Martin Balsam's fed-up cop is entertainly presented, and although the denouement is predictable, it really couldn't happen any other way. Marilu Tolo also does a nice job as a reluctant witness who scared to death for very good reasons."Confessions of a Police Captain" is no masterpiece, but it's the sort of solid workman-like entry that makes the study of film genres so very entertaining.
