Assassinio sul Tevere (1979) delivers a classic Italian crime drama infused with nostalgic charm and a touch of comedy, yet it falls short in several areas, meriting a solid 6/10.
The film, directed by Bruno Corbucci, stars the charismatic Tomas Milian as Nico Giraldi, an unorthodox and streetwise cop navigating the murky waters of crime in Rome. Milian's performance is the film's highlight, effortlessly blending humor with grit, making Nico a likable and engaging protagonist. The supporting cast, including Bombolo as the bumbling sidekick, adds a layer of comedic relief that keeps the tone light and entertaining.
