Larry Karaszewski on

Shoot First, Die Later

Released 1974
Distributor CFM Filmverhuur
The title sounds like a typically nihilistic Italian spaghetti western but it’s really a typically nihilistic Italian crime thriller. Directed by Fernando Di Leo, the action revolves around a cop who is happy dabbling in bribery until the bodies begin to pile up. A box office hit in its homeland, the movie benefits from some frenetic car chases and the presence of the formidable Richard Conte.
