The Last Round - 1976 - 6/10
AKA - Il Conto è Chiuso

Two families control the northern city.
Manzetti’s with drugs and smuggling, Belmondo through nightclubs and prostitution.
From the South, Marco arrives, looking for work.
After he beats up a half dozen Manzetti thugs, their own boss, Rico, hires him on.

Not knowing Marco has his own agenda, and will soon set the rival families into conflict.
Italian Euro-Crime borrows heavily from A Fistful Of Dollars, and an effect from For A Few Dollars More.
Marco (boxer Carlos Monzón) is no Eastwood, but Luc Merenda as the calculating Rico owns his every second onscreen.
