Kidnap Syndicate (Italian: La città sconvolta: caccia spietata ai rapitori, lit.
'The City is Shaken: Ruthless Pursuit of the Kidnappers') is a 1975 Italian poliziottesco film directed by Fernando Di Leo.
Even being a minor work in the Di Leo's filmography, the film gained some critical attention for being an original re-interpretation of the "vigilante" subgenre.
[1] Italian film historian Roberto Curti described its profit as a "moderate box office success".
[4] Claudio G. Fava stated in Corriere Mercantile that "all the worst defects of the worst of Italian cinema can be found in this minutely banal film"[4] Sandro Casazza of La Stampa declared it as an "immoral and asocial film (the thread dedicated to the "silent majority" numbers a large number of titles ever since Straw Dogs).
