Yep. Another excellent movie by Sergio Martino. I think that the mixture of various genres worked great.
The only thing I couldn't get behind at first was why Claudio Cassinelli's character was so interested in solving the case, but then that question was answered.

I also loved the car chase scene.

7.5/10

This was one of the most hard-to-find of the Eurocrime movies, at least in the English dub, for many years.

After finally seeing it (on a widely released BLU-RAY of all things!) I can say I was a bit underwhelmed by this offering. It tried hard to be very serious in places when it was dabbling in giallo and child-trafficking territory, but the comedic sidekick guy got awfully grating and the car chase scene was beyond goofy (what's with the guy spinning around on his head TWICE?). There's also the only example of a shootout ON a moving roller coaster that I've ever seen, which must have been a lot of fun for the actors to film but way too goofy to pop up in a hybrid giallo/polziotteschi/political thriller.
