Contraband (1980)
10/10
Awesome gory and violent crime thriller from the Italian master of gore
30 September 2010
When it comes to gore, Lucio Fulci knows how to deliver, even if this is not a horror movie. There are many scenes of brutal gun blasting, it will make gore hounds happy (with really well made special effects), also the soundtrack is amazing. Good performance of Fabio Testi, in the role of "Luca"

"Contraband" was made after the success of Zombie 2, another Fulci masterpiece.

Plot: Luca is a cigarette smuggler, "working" in Naples, Italy. After a boat chase with the police, Luca suspects that someone is trying to frame him. A group of Cocaine Smugglers are trying to "replace" the Cigarette smuggling by killing and threating all the cigarette smugglers that will go against them.....

Trivia: Fulci makes a cameo in the final shootout as: a old man with the glasses shooting with a machine gun.
