The brutal business of mob enforcement is executed with unflinching directness. They don't simply take care of an inconvenient witness, they complete the job by taking out the man's beloved cat with the same weapon.

A marvelous picture, spotlighting roughhouse action and a leather-jacket score, while reinforcing Di Leo's iconic status as a crime film craftsman tackling a challenging study of duality and honor.
Rated: A-

Fernando Di Leo (and co-scribe Sergio Donati) keeps you interested with the exciting car chase/crash scenes that bookend the film.
Rated: B+

Di Leo is a master of the action scene, two car chases extravagantly choreographed, but there is humor evident as well in a cross cut elevator 'chase.' At its core, though, "Shoot First, Die Later" is a densely plotted film with a bleak outlook...

Typically tough Fernando Di Leo directed Italian crime picture about the mafia strong arming a dirty cop. The film was co-written by frequent Sergio Lenoe collaborator, Sergio Donati, though this film probably isn't De Leo's best of his come films (that would be "Wipeout" or "The Boss"). Richard Conte has a supporting role in the film and there is also a good Luis Bacalov score.

A bit hokey in the execution, but the plot isn't bad. It's no Bourne Identity, but there's a pretty good extended car chase too; great ending.
