Contraband Review

Review of Contraband (1980) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

Fulci has a good feeling for the scummy feel of dirty police work. There's some dryness here but it's not without its moments that make Fulci joints so special. He manages to make mean-spirited characters operating in a similar world but the films themselves are insulated against it, simply showing you these people in these situations and not letting the main narrative get warped by those committing the atrocious acts onscreen. This is one to rewatch sometime soon for sure.
