Film Synopsis
Weapons of Death (1977) concerns a Naples police commissioner trying to arrest a violent gangster protected by a powerful Mafia boss. The criminal’s increasingly brazen attacks frustrate the investigation and begin provoking opposition within the underworld. This Italian poliziottesco constructs its urban crime narrative as a rapid chain of violent episodes, using Naples locations and kinetic action to convey a breakdown of public order.
