L'immortale

Gomorra, the series this movie is based on, was a brilliant insight to the poverty and crime in Naples masterfully written by journalist Roberto Saviano. The first 2 seasons were based on the book by Saviano and provide all the necessary closure for the tragic story of Ciro Di Marzio. The rest of the TV show was written to bank of the popularity of the first 2 seasons.

The movie is a further attempt to bank on the very beloved character of Ciro. There is no character development in this movie. There are surprises, but they're very in-your-face. There's very little of reality in this film. It's sad to see the brilliance of Saviano turn into a mediocre thriller. That said, I did enjoy the movie. But it so much less than what it could have been. In fact, the whole Gomorra universe after Season 2 is simple feel-good entertainment.

Italian cinema is just astonishing. The movie left me speechless because of how thrilling and compelling it is. Props to everyone who worked hard to make this movie the best it can get. I'm sure the Season 5 of Gomorra will also be as great as the rest of the seasons including this movie. Marco is extremely talented and I'm we're going to see a lot more of his work in the future. Solid 10/10.

..way of telling the backstory of Ciro and all Gomorrah fans should be pleased with the usual series atmospheric feel to the film

Maybe not a top-notch gradation from the beginning as we would like to see but fairly exceptional ending. Marco is as convincing as in the series.

If you loved watching gomorra, then this is a must for you. The story is fantastic from the start to finish. Avoid listening to negative reviews as this a pure masterpiece.
