Almost Human (1974), also called The Death Dealer and The Kidnapping of Mary Lou, is an Italian poliziottesco film directed by Umberto Lenzi, with a musical score composed by Ennio Morricone.Giulio Sacchi (Tomas Milian) is an trigger-happy small-time crook who, after getting kicked out of his gang for murdering a cop, kidnaps a wealthy heiress for a half-billion lire ransom. Straight-laced cop Walter Grandi (Henry Silva) follows the trail of drug-fueled death and destruction left in his wake, and tries to catch him before its too late.The original Italian title is Milano odia: la polizia non-può sparare, which translates to "Milan hates, the police can't shoot". | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Almost Human / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The 1980 American promotional campaign inexplicably tried to pitch the film as a horror movie, with the tagline "There is a reason for every living creature... with one exception", and a bizarre rendering of Giulio with green skin and bulging, slitted eyes◊. | |

| Almost Human / int_317f259c | comment |
Urban Hellscape: Milan is a gray, perpetually-overcast, crime-riddled hellscape where murder, kidnapping, and robberies are everyday occurrences. Truth in Television, at least at the time, when Milan had one of the highest per capita crime rates in Europe. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Almost Human / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Detective Grandi finally corners and kills Giulio after the justice system fails. But, he's probably going to prison for a long time, and it won't bring back any of the people Giulio killed. | |

Understatement: The morning after the massacre at the villa,note Which saw the occupants raped at gunpoint, hung naked from a chandelier, and machine-gunned to death. Giulio comments that things got "a little out of hand." | |

Villain Protagonist: Giulio has little-or-no redeeming colleagues, and any sympathy the audience may have for him has vanished by the time he's raped and murdered an entire family for kicks. | |

All Issues Are Political Issues | |
| Almost Human / int_b499dd39 | comment |
All Issues Are Political Issues: Giulio justified his crimes by arguing that the wealthy elite like Porrino have hurt him economically, so holding his daughter for ransom is simply a quid pro quo. | |
