Almost Human. 1974.
Giulio a small time crook panics during a robbery and kills a policeman, his gang beat him and leave him, soon he hatches a plan to get money quick by kidnapping the daughter of his wealthy girlfriend's boss.
This was a nice giallo flick from Umberto Lenzi with Tomas Milan as Giulio, small time crook who has no remorse from taking lives, and encouraging his men to play roulette with three people using a chandelier. Henry Silver plays the hard nose detective on the trail who has to abide by the law and tries to break the rules to get the victim and the perpetrator.
The film is shot nicely and may seem slow paced at moments but the pace does quicken up, with some tense moments and scenes of a attempt rape, the characters seem more central in this film and intriguing even Henry Silva playing a good guy who tries everything and seems to play by his own rules.
