i read a couple of good review on this board for mr. scarface and but for anyone uninitiated in the genre of italian gangster film like myself and the picture will probably make very little sense . indeed and after the initial setup involve the ten million lira scam and the picture devolve into a fairly routine revenge flick with a minor twist in the identity of rick ( al cliver ) character . the whole gang war plot get muddy up for me with the inclusion of vinchenzo napoli ( vittorio caprioli ) and but a most other viewer comment and he about the only one who give this picture any life with his often ineffective attempt at violence . i find it somewhat unbelievable that manzari goon who chase tony through the street do not actually stroke out before tony even lay a hand on them . for all of his buildup a the title character and jack palance be waste rather unceremoniously in an anticlimactic near finale and make the u. s. work title and mr. scarface and rather moot . i have see enough spaghetti westerns to know that they do not all work while i guess in this case and my first look at a spaghetti gangster flick do not quite make it either .
