The Heroin Busters
At 93 minutes, The Heroin Busters is a good 10 to 15 minutes shorter than Castellari's other crime films, and the result is that its pace is maintained much more effectively, even if the plot does feature some rather unneccessary diversions that don't really go anywhere. In terms of the three Castellari films released by Blue Underground on DVD, this one falls somewhere in the middle, lacking the sheer intensity of Franco Nero's performance in Street Law but being considerably tighter and more engaging than The Big Racket. This may have been the director's final crime film of the decade, but he certainly goes out in style.
I've reviewed The Heroin Busters, a high-speed, action-packed crime thriller from Enzo G. Castellari starring Fabio Testi (The Big Racket), David Hemmings (Blow-up) and Sherry Buchanan (Zombie Holocaust). Blue Underground's R0 US release of the film also includes an excellent audio commentary with the director.
