A thoroughly well made giallo that maybe lacks some of the devices that make gialli such a pleasure, such as twists. That aside it does deliver a few original ideas. The detective here isn't the usual hard-boiled hard living type chap, he is a man in a dilemma - he's not sure if he's cut out for the force. He knows he's neglecting his woman and it pains him, but any indecision is blown away by the ending.
The film is also exceptionally well directed with detailed close-ups (which to me where a clue in themselves to the killer's identity) and some edgy shots that unease, especially when they go hand-in-hand with the occasionally dischordant soundtrack by Morricone.
A class film.
