A little 'as the protagonist unjustly labeled as weenie also the movie has a wrong label: 'poliziottesco ".
A definition only partly right, we agree, but this movie goes beyond and arrives in noir genre.
Ultra violence like "Clockwork Orange", criticism of the justice helpless and useless that drives people to fend for themselves. Nihilism. Justicialism. Sympathy for the bad guy, populist and anti-bourgeois.
"Almost Human" directed by Umberto Lenzi in 1974, has these features and many others that make it one of the most important, most beautiful and most violent movie of its genre.
The extraordinary interpretation of Tomas Milian then, makes it even more interesting and in a plot that holds high the tension.  The echoes of a Milanese "Dirty Harry" are evident in the cold and expressionless Commissioner Walter Grandi who is facing a wave of violence to which legal justice can only assist.
Giulio Sacchi, a superb Tomas Milian is the criminal who unleashed the slaughter. Weenie and loudmouth so much to miss a robbery and so much to hold a long speech with populist themes and anti bourgeois, decided one day to make the hit of life, kidnapping the daughter of a rich businessman. Berserk and ready for anything, assisted by two accomplices, leaves on the road of his project a long trail of blood killing anyone who gets against him, innocent, girlfriend and exterminating an entire family in a villa.

But Giulio Sacchi the weenie in his lucid madness always manages to get away. He escapes the traps of the police, manipulates and eliminates friends, enemies and accomplices, creating alibi until the Commissioner Grandi exasperated decides to make justice his own.

Essential work of Italian genius. Umberto Lenzi after the tests in "Milan Rovente" his first poliziottesco, create a masterpiece whose ultra-violent scenes are inspired by Kubrik, as we can see in the bloody scene of the villa where Sacchi and friends are enjoy playing with the victims.
A great cast who work very well with Henry Silva in the first role as "good" and Tomas Milian who took drugs and alcohol to better interpret Giulio Sacchi. Ray Lovelock is the angelic and good criminal. Morricone music.
