They Called Him Bulldozer

About This Movie

They Called Him Bulldozer is this quirky blend of action and comedy that really captures the absurdity of the late 70s. Michele Lupo’s direction delivers a light-hearted vibe, with a pacing that's a bit all over the place but it fits the offbeat nature of the story. The performances, particularly by the lead, bring a certain charm—his transition from a hardened football star to a reluctant coach for a ragtag team of street folks is entertaining. The film doesn't take itself too seriously and leans into the comedy, especially when the mismatched team faces off against the military. The atmosphere feels distinctly Italian, with a mix of humor and action that feels very much of its time.
