'Operazione Kappa: sparate a vista' aka 'Day of Violence' (1977) - Luigi Petrini.

Luigi Petrini dynamically directs one of the more startlingly savage, profoundly exhilarating entries in the lovably lurid, thug-packed idiom of 70s Euro-crime. Two hapless, hate-filled thugs meet at a particularly square shindig and spontaneously decide to wreak bloody havoc upon middle-class society with a zesty, drunken orgy of rape, feral fisticuffs, and all murderous manner of deliriously misguided misanthropy! 'Operazione Kappa: sparate a vista' aka 'Day of Violence' (1977) really is must see for ardent lovers of gonzoid Italo-sleaze; as brutalist moustache-maverick cops and nihilistic Ne'er-do-well misfits boisterously butt hirsute heads in this unrelentingly violent, intensely satisfying thick-ear Poliziottesco classic!

All this righteously unhinged B-Movie bellicosity is galvanized most groovily by a grimy, Lalo Schifrinoid crime-funk soundtrack by maestros, Bixio-Frizzi-Tempera that will demonstratively leave no booty unmoved! Pertini's exciting 'Day of Violence' is bloody marvellously misanthropic affair, onus on the plentiful claret that director, Luigi Petrini generously splashes all over the hijacked bistro walls! This still remains one of my personal Poliziotteschi favourites, due to the muscular filmmaking by able director, Luigi Petrini, the fabulously infectious grooves by, Bixio-Frizzi-Tempera, and fascinatingly full-blooded, tibia-trashing thuggery from our two particularly venomous and amoral leads. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more satisfyingly sadistic, cranium-cracking heft of cathartic, 'kick-the-bourgeois-in-the-knackers' Bistro blasting mayhem than, 'Operazione Kappa: sparate a vista', which remains a vital example of Italian exploitation genius, and a painful reminder of just how dull, derivative and truly insipid contemporary agitprop cinema has become!
