Posted February 8, 2021 03:19 PM by Webmaster
Newly-launched British label Fractured Visions has provided us with a promotional trailer for its upcoming Blu-ray release of Sergio Martino's Silent Action (1975), starring Luc Merenda, Mel Ferrer, Delia Boccardo, Michele Gammino, and Tomas Milián. The release will be available for purchase on March 21.
Label description: From maverick filmmaker Sergio Martino (Torso) comes his most explosive and provocative film, Silent Action. When high-ranking military officials turn up dead, all from apparent suicides or suspicious accidents, it's down to Inspector Giorgio Solmi (Luc Merenda, The Violent Professionals) to find out what's happened to them. Aided by Captain Mario Sperli (Tomas Milian, Almost Human), the two men soon find themselves in the midst of a deadly political scandal that threatens to bring Rome to its knees.
Making its global HD debut, Fractured Visions is proud to present Silent Action (A.K.A The Police Accuse: The Secret Service Kill), a bold and uncompromising take on a startling true story, lovingly restored and featuring a host of new bonus material.
