(released internationally as The Big Racket ) is a definitive 1976 Italian poliziottesco (crime-action) film directed by Enzo G. Castellari and starring genre icon Fabio Testi . Film Synopsis
Known for Castellari's signature use of slow-motion violence and kinetic action sequences, which heavily influenced later directors like Quentin Tarantino.
Like many 1970s Italian crime films, it reflects the "Years of Lead" ( Anni di piombo ), a period of intense political and social unrest in Italy. Search for Subtitles
The story follows Inspector Nico Palmieri (Testi), a rugged and determined police officer battling a ruthless protection racket that has gripped a local town. When the legal system fails to stop the escalating violence—including the brutalization of local shopkeepers and the rape of a young woman—Palmieri takes the law into his own hands. Abandoning traditional police procedure, he recruits a group of vengeful civilians to wage a bloody, vigilante war against the mob. Key Features of this Release
