A merciless crime lord finds out that his wife is romantically involved with Riley, a young attractive man. He wants to kill Riley viciously and a deadly battle starts among them.
Every surprise feels contrived, the many twists soon become tied in knots, and all the comings and goings, all the rug-pulling revelations, all the skeletons in the closet and expository flashbacks, end up resembling little more than a daft farce.

By the time the plot reached its ridiculous conclusion, I was resigned to sitting back and enjoying the absurdity of it all.
Fans of arch dialogue (Howard chews the considerable scenery in a monologue about dogs, bitches, and loyalty) and those who know their giallo (there's a wonderfully voyeuristic stalk and slash scene) will not be disappointed.
