The Violent Four - 1968 - 6/10
AKA - Banditi a Milano

After an opening of mayhem, this goes into police procedural.
Tracking cars, fielding calls, rounding up suspects.
Police have one already, the wheelman, and they start squeezing.
This excels at showing the confusion following a heist and bullet spree.
Yet once the driver starts filling details, the story ratchets higher.
Predates Euro Crime genre and remains influential.

Boss Pietro confers with gunslinger Sante, preparing for three capers in a row.
If Michael Corleone ever had a cousin in Milan, it was Sante.
