Exciting as La Scorta might be, it is at heart a conventional thriller that breaks no new genre ground.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Overview
The film shows the difficulties of an honest, imperiled judge and his bodyguard of four men, trying to clean up a Sicilian town. Corrupt local politicians, working hand-in-hand with the Mafia, will stop at nothing to prevent exposure of their rackets.

La Scorta suffers from an anemic plot pulse.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Rotten
Ultimately, La Scorta is a tight, competent but rather inconsequential thriller. It's diverting, but thin.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
