Wild East presents an Italian crime thriller double feature. In the first, "Confessions of a Police Captain", Franco Nero plays a big city district attorney who wants to flush out the bad eggs in the government and bring down a Mafia kingpin. Martin Balsam plays a police captain who wants to do the same thing. The problem is that each is certain that the other is corrupt and so they're constantly at each other's throats.
This complex thriller is the brainchild of co-writer and director Damiano Damiani ("The Genius" with Terence Hill, "A Bullet for the General" with Gian Maria Volonte) and features the beautiful Marilu Tolo as a girl in fear of her life and Arturo Domenici (Javuto in "Black Sunday") as a slimy mob lawyer.
The second feature is "Summertime Killer" starring Christopher Mitchum who, as a young boy, witnessed the murder of his father by the mob and, as a man, seeks revenge against the killers.
