    Where to Watch

A tough ex-cop (Franco Nero) is hired to nail a drug lord. Brenda: Sybil Danning. Goldsmith: William Berger. Tim: Carlo Gabriel Sparanero. Directed by Enzo G. Castellari. Also known as "Il Giorno del Cobra."

Franco Nero is a San Francisco private eye called on by a government antidrug agency to travel to his hometown of Genoa to crack a drug ring. The ring is run by the same man who years before framed Nero, costing him his policeman's badge. In Genoa, Nero meets Sybil Danning, a disc jockey at a local disco. This above-average offering from Italy supplies plenty of action and bloody shootouts. Nero and Danning are both excellent in this generally well-done private-eye thriller, originally released in 1980.
