Rod Steiger is ferocious as a scheming land developer in this expose of the politically driven real-estate speculation that has devastated Naples’s civilian landscape. The film moves breathlessly from a cataclysmic building collapse to the backroom negotiations of civic leaders vying for power in a city council election, laying bare the inner workings of corruption with passion and outrage.
