A harsh, violent masterpiece, 19 August 2008

THE SAVAGE THREE blew my mind. I've seen most of the Italian crime films of the 70s, and this is among the finest of the lot.

Three young men who work in a stilted office environment become progressively aggravated with playing it straight in an uncaring, machine-like society. The natural leader of the trio (played with gusto by Mr. Dallesandro) convinces the other two men to join him on some nightly escapades that become increasingly violent and mean-spirited toward various people in the city (from alleyway lowlifes to upstanding citizens). Eventually, they are out of control and embark on a rampage of destruction.

The acting is superb. I feel that Dallesandro's finest performances were the ones he gave in his Italian crime films (THE CLIMBER and SEASON FOR ASSASSINS are equally compelling), and the supporting cast is great as well. The script, direction and music are also top notch.

I would love to see a remastered DVD box set of Dallesandro's Italian crime efforts. At this point, the only way to find these movies is to comb the net for DVD-Rs of the old PAL VHS releases from the early 80s. They looked bad to begin with, but after they've been converted to NTSC, they're really tough to endure. Still, this movie is definitely worth the effort.

Don't miss the scene where Dallesandro tires of waiting at a red traffic light and shoots the light out with a revolver!
