Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man 1976

Can a polizziotesco be so macho that it's gay? Live Like A Cop, Die Like A Man seeks to answer that question with its bromance buddies, Alfredo and Antonio, two killing machines that are a bigger danger to Italian society than the gangsters they lay low in practically every scene. They go hard at every woman they come across to a point that it's ridiculous and they live like Bert and Ernie. They might be a little less violent if they just stopped denying their feelings for one another and explored.

Gritty and violent, I had no idea what I was in for with this movie. Despite the incredibly fast subtitles, it was a sleazy little crime story with good action. The problem for me was that the heroes seemed to do more damage and mayhem than the villains. I think they needed to establish the villains a little stronger for this to work for me. Still fun, though.
