Convoy Busters (Italian: Un poliziotto scomodo) is a 1978 poliziotteschi film directed by Stelvio Massi and starring Maurizio Merli.
[1] Italian film historian and critic Roberto Curti stated that this gross was no par with Maurizio Merli's previous films noting that his star power was beginning to fade at this point.
[1] Curti stated that the film was "unusually well-received by critics", including Vittorio Spiga who praised the film as Massi's best work, referring to Massi as managing "to renew the genre somehow: by borrowing the style of the Italian Western, its violence and characters, while taking the spectacular angle and the fast pacing from American cinema.
"[2] Tom Milne of the Monthly Film Bulletin stated that "Although Stelvio Massi places numbing reliance on the zoom lens, it is competently enough done, with a sound performance by Maurizio Merli in the Eastwood role.
"[3] In a retrospective review, Curti declared the film to be "perhaps Stelvio Massi's best effort, and one of the better late Italian poliziotteschi"[2]
