Tony Arzenta Limited Edition Blu-Ray
Alain Delon (Le Cercle Rouge) plays the lead role as the efficient and ruthless mafia hitman Tony Arzenta. Tony has a young family and wants to leave his criminal life behind to ensure that his young son is not drawn into the vendettas that so often accompany people in his position. But his bosses don't make it easy for Tony, and he ends up on a bloody mission that takes him across Europe to eliminate his former employers. Delon gives a haunting performance that is as stoic as the iconic hitman role he played for Jean-Pierre Melville in Le Samourai, but Tony Arzenta is firmly rooted in the Italian crime film poliziottesco and delivers exciting scenes and an emotional core that carries the story to the last nail-biting frame. This underrated crime classic from genre master Duccio Tessari (A Pistol for Ringo, Death Occurred Last Night) has an incredible supporting cast of poliziotteschi regulars including Richard Conte (The Boss), Umberto Orsini (Violent City), Corrado Gaipa (Illustrious Corpses), and many others. Now it has been newly restored and is finally being released in the UK for the first time.p>
