Historical gangsterism

A solid Italian gangster movie with a period setting for a change. The story has an epic background but in fact it's about two men who begin as rivals and end up as brothers in blood. Franco Nero is the big name here but actually gets the smaller role while Fabio Testi dominates as the ultra-ruthless criminal boss. Great production values lift this one throughout.
