"Naked Violence" is a crime movie different than some of director Fernando Di Lio's other crime movies, being that it is not action- oriented. Instead, it's a relatively serious and sober look at a rape- murder and the subsequent investigation of it. Parts of this investigation are definitely interesting, the most being the angle of the movie being the teenagers who witnessed the crime but are unwilling to talk about it; it sometimes comes across as an early version of the American movie "River's Edge". However, this angle is eventually more or less abandoned, and the movie becomes somewhat tedious and slow in its second half. Does the movie still have enough interest to make it worth a look? Maybe. If you are interested in seeing a cinematic police investigation that is more realistic than usual, and have enjoyed other movies by Di Lio before, this may be an interesting change of pace.
