Sadly Over-hyped

One of my all time favorites.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Tense, well acted and staged Milan police drama with the always admirable Orlandi as a widowed inspector, given as his last case the celebrity murder that's too big for side-kick Battison, the same night his daughter Raffaelli is arrested.It's the girl's sixteenth birthday.Good scope production making effective use of urban location and settings like the automated morgue, the crime scene with the incriminating flip book, the bottle shooting range or the dead-locked home.This develops an effective, brooding atmosphere though the film is a bit on the slow side.
