Gangster impresario Roch Siffredi (Alain Delon) has pre-war Marseille in the palm of his well-manicured hand. But when an upstart Italian mob tries to cliam the French port town's vice trade for their own, the resulting gang war leaves Siffredi's partner dead, his theater, and nightclub in ruins, his brothel vacant, and his allies turned against him. Tortured, humiliated, and cast into an insane asylum, Siffredi is stripped of everything except an all-consuming vendetta against Valpone. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

One of the better action crime films with Alain Delon in the lead role, which draws inspiration from the complex political situation in France in the late 1930s and the influence of rising fascism. I saw Borsalino & Co. again after a long 12 years, and I am lowering my rating from a weaker four stars to a fair three. After all, this older film has a certain template-like quality and routine direction. Overall impression 55%.

“The world spins fast, Mr. Siffredi. Especially for those who are left alone...” An involuntary exit from the train and the explosive performance of a comedian on stage mark the beginning of a war. Simple, loud, and at times inconsistent, just the way lovers of old orders and gangster honor like it. The laconic Delon delivers roughly as many lines as the T-800, and before stylishly shoveling coal into the boiler, he exacts vengeance on the livers of his enemies. That first shot and the gloomy music accompanying it—yikes.
