YOUNG, VIOLENT, DANGEROUS is another dramatic slice of Italian crime action, obviously indebted to Bava's RABID DOGS but managing to carve out its own niche at the same time. The slim plotting allows for greater characterisation than usual and as a whole things hang together rather well. Tomas Milian plays a cop for a change, hot on the trail of a three-member gang of youths going around committing robbery and murder with heedless regard. The story is inevitably action-packed and full of the usual exploitation staples to give it edgy appeal, and the photography is excellent.
