Der Unbarmherzige

Fun, stylishly produced and directed. A refreshingly different slant on a Mafioso story.

With the watch if you appreciate a good black comedy.

The movie doesn't give us anything new.

The way the story is being told, isn't new.

I mean we have seen it all before.

In movies like scarface, goodfellas, american gangster etc.

It doesn't revolve layers and layers of suspense or malice or thrill or get your pulse racing.

Why I like the movie is the lead actor's acting, the direction and the camera work.

So if you have nothing else to do on a Friday night, grab a bowl of popcorn,lays, hay whatever :P and enjoy this mafiasco in the italiano way.

You wont get bored.

Too lazy today to write an extensive review today, sorry for that. But I enjoyed every minute of this well-made movie. It's funny, it shows how raw Italian society can be, nice camera work and styling, good contemporary music and fine acting. It helps if you know a little about the recent history of Italy and love the country (not just the Elelesian hills of Tuscany) to appreciate some details more, but it's not necessary. Definitely recommended!

Very very nice gangster movie played in Milan in the 70s. Scamarcio is the best for this role.

How to rise in the Mafia ... still being moral and all about it. As with many tales this begins later and goes back to show us how our main character became the person he ... became eventually. There is violence, there is nudity, there is obviously also crime.

Very well played and confident in it's structure and timeline this is an entertaining enough watch, even though you could not compare it to the greats in the genre. But that doesn't mean you should knock it down.
