Los despiadados

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!

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.

Started out very good, ended very boring. I lost track of what was going on. the writing was no so good, in my opinion. Good had been much better but it wasn't.

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.

The story starts interesting, great shots and has a nice Italian feeling. Especially all the typical Italian cars look great! But the movie seems way longer than 90 minutes, the second half kind of drags. The storytelling does not really explain the choices that are made by the main characters. Stuff happens, but the reasons behind it are not so well explored. The story lost my attention to some degree. Cinematography is great, the 80's vibe is present, but overall I was not completely satisfied. I hoped for more...
