an average crime drama that starts out with a somewhat intersting plot, but stretches it so far it becomes ridiculous. there are some good ideas in the story, but nothing is really made of them.
Spanish character actor Eduardo Fajardo (Django) is wasted on a phoned-in performance, and Stelvio Cipriani delivers a mediocre score.
there is however a 15 minute stretch of solid booty kicking action starting off with a guy getting his head repeatedly bashed into the walls of his apartment, then thrown down the stairs, followed by an extended "Bullit-esque" car chase.
Barcelona Kill is overall pretty pedestrian...not help by the incredibly weak ending. recommended only to the most forgiving fans of Euro action who are running out of stuff to watch.

Blood And Lace is a great old-fashioned horror flick, which manages some campy laughs as well as some real scares.
shot in lurid, eye-poping colors, not unlike the films of HG Lewis, and stuffed with some nasty gore scenes and unhealthy references to prostitution and pedophilia. belive it or not, all in a GP (todays equivilent of PG) rated movie.
look for early roles from "Alice" star Vic Tayback as a sleazy detective, and a hilariously over-the-top performance from Len Lesser as the creepy scumball handyman...all the funnier because Len Lesser went on to play Jerry's uncle Leo on "Seinfield!"
if you're in the mood for a good old style horror flick, you can't go wrong with this one.

From Corleone To Brookln is one of Umberto Lenzi's best crime films, which is saying lot because he directed many classics in the genre.
Maurizio Merli plays Berni, the usual P.O. cop, and here he has to escort a lowlife criminal (Biagio Pellegra) from Italy to New York so he can testify against a mafia head.
the mafia have set up a series of traps along the way, making things a bit difficult for the boys.
at times very suspenseful, action packed and helped along by one of composer Franco Micalizzi's best scores, From Corleone To Brooklyn gets my highest recommendation.
sadly, this would be the last "real" crime film Lenzi would make, but at least he went out with a bang!
