Milano Odia: La Polizia Non Può Sparare [Original Soundtrack]

Released

Known in English-speaking countries as Almost Human, this 1974 crime film by future Cannibal Ferox director Umberto Lenzi was condemned by critics for its unceasing brutality and irredeemable villain protagonist. But with Morricone composing, a tough watch is bested by a compelling listen: if you’re not down to watch Tomas Milian going on a psychotic, stomach-turning nihilist killing spree, you can find a less sordid but no less suspenseful experience in these reiterations of themes (“Rapimento”; “Raptus omicida”; the title cut) where every brass-section melody and tendon-stretching string movement feel percussively intent on knocking the wind out of you.
