Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man
Okay, I'm back.
Saw several things since I last posted, not going to try to recount them.
Let's just continue with the Italian crime theme. This one was nowhere near as good as Caliber 9, but was worth a watch. It almost seems like the Ambiguously Gay Duo at times, despite their attempts to molest/pick up nearly every female character in the movie [other than one of the old ladies.] Maybe they have something to prove.
Lots of chases, busting of heads, gals taking their tops off, but oddly, the heroes never seem to be in that much jeopardy, as if the whole thing is a massive goof to them. It is unique in that these cops generally don't give a rats ass about hurting people or getting rough, the opening chase scene ends with one of them snapping the neck of a critically injured suspect, and it is not viewed as anything remarkable. I have a cousin who was stationed in Italy and he said the police there don't mess around, so maybe this is true to life...it also has some of the more ineffectual villains I've seen in a crime film.
Directed by Ruggerio Deodato, which may explain the casual attitude toward mayhem.
