But not just that ... with so many characters and so many strands you may be excused if you think this takes on way too much for its own good. It is overall well told, but you may have issues caring for much of it. Who is the bad guy, why is he or she bad and what about all the other people? As I said, you may not care, not just by the end of it, but throughout, which would not be a good sign.
The movie is still quite interesting and with a little more focus might have been able to sway me and make believe there is more to it than I saw. Still there are people who relish and cherish the way this is told. Different strokes and so forth. Just be aware of what you let yourself into ... and you may have the ride you wanted.

The move plot could be interesting but it gets messy and confusing pretty quick. A lot of stories tie together somehow but the resulting mix makes little sense.
Marco D'Amore and Fabrizio bentivoglio are good actors and did a nice job but I didn't like Maya Sansa at all, I'm sorry. She struggles to show any emotion, she seems to talk and act the same way despite of the scene she's in. It's also very difficult to understand what she says, because of the low and unclear voice.
The young guys, all of them, acted well.

Lack of character development... which tends to lead to poor acting... an extremely boring slow story with too many things in the mouth at the same time. Foreign films made years ago could get away with this and folks would call it art. There's too much good stuff out there these days.

I've read several of the comments and like most all movies, the reviews are all over the board. This is a difficult movie to keep up with but if follow all the separate stories they will tie together at the end. Some parts are a little slow and somethings could have been edited out all together and not changed the outcome. Regardless for a sit at home with your feet kinda night; I would recommend you watch it.

A new Italian mystery on Netflix. After the assault of a young woman in their seaside town, a security expert and his family become caught in a powerful wave of secrets and lies.
The first 50 minutes introduced many characters that had each of their own story. Even though it felt like the story was meandering for a long time, I hoped that these elements would converge and had significant meaning.
Well some of them did. Recently I have watched Oddtaxi, which was one of the most well-written anime that I have watched in terms of bringing all the plots details together. For this movie, I was only bored during the first 50 minutes, and I was engaged for the rest of the 2 hour runtime. This was because the main mystery itself had sufficient amount of buildup and made sense. However, thinking back, I realized there were many elements that didn't add anything to the story. Some notable ones were the security expert's insomnia, his wife's and daughter's stories. They pretty much only extended the runtime.
Even more, the plot revolved around the security system in this affluent town that had multiple cameras in people's house to watch for burglars and the 'undesirables'. The movie tried to have a message about this, and it was such nonsense and not justified at all.
Overall, a weak script that didn't tie all parts together. 5.5/10.

This is the type of existential movie we have a lot of, and love, here in Continental Europe but which are so alien to North American and UK viewers, so I can see why most English speakers gave it terrible marks.
Our cousins across the Alps are coming up with great dramas during this pandemic : La Vita davanti a sé, the Zero series, and now this one, Security.
Despite the title Security is not a police thriller or anything similar : it is just a good existential drama around the principal of a security company which installs security systems in rich people's houses in the beautiful real town of Forte dei Marmi - from this film and Google pictures I just want to go and visit it !
This film is all about personal dramas, family dramas, people's varying characters and how some people's character traits can lead to tragedies multiple steps down the line.
I loved it.

This is an engaging film of broken relationships set in the popular Italian resort town of Forte dei Marmi off the Ligurian coast.
It takes the mauling of a young student for these relationships to unravel. To be sure, it's a low key, sober film but it captures the viewer's attention. How the relationships unravel is the film's strong suit.
This film succeeds effectively in showing the viewer how relationships are fragile and that we've to nurture them for them to last. But, at the same time, healing is possible.
The actors, both young and old, performed well.
Watch it. It'll be worth your while. Ciao.

The premise is quite good, but the slow execution, almost tiring, dragging, discouraged, it became tedious, but the original idea, of the benefits and harms of surveillance, which can be used in a derogatory way, as unnecessary and humiliating exposed, but as evidence of crimes, alibis and accusations... But if you manage to overcome the initial ostracism, we were delighted with an excellent work... Wonderful outcome, the film reminded me of the painful "Jagten"...

Nice idea and well chosen site to develop it: a small coastal town during winter time.
Acting is good too, as well as filmography which I've found excellent.
There are a couple of things which I've found inconsistent thus I gave it a 7 and not an 8.

I can't remember what I even saw. It was such a dull movie with no narrative/thematic depth, or any sort of high octane thrilling drama. It felt pretty lifeless and dull. The scenes are bland, and the over conflict is trivial and stake-less. The movie could've have been good, if it had a true sense of purpose with its characters, rather than them being dragged on by others for a pretentious ride. Our protagonist, Roberto, is literally the embodiment of that, where he slogs and drives around purposelessly without defined and urgent pursuit. Throughout the movie, he seems like he needs a good night's sleep before he can start to do his thing to solve the case, as he walks around with no real urgency to get to the bottom of the case. Also, what weakens the movie is the lack of an intimidating conflict and villain, who spices the narrative up. There's a clear lack of stakes, and any meaningful drama to warrant any sort of emotional investment that's worthwhile. You could play the movie in the background and you wouldn't even miss a thing. A strong sense of purpose/goal, and a stronger sense of conflict and stakes would've enabled the movie much more.

It took me 2 months to finish this film because I couldn't stay awake. I actually used this movie to help me fall asleep some nights. I was lost trying to keep up with the numerous main characters & different storylines. This movie was all over the place and felt like a bad Italian soap opera.

A bad movie with no subject. It was like watching and empty screen with terrible dubbing. Netflix garbage.

What stereotypes are you looking for? You'll probably find them all here: the soft-hearted protagonist with a hard shell, the cunning politician, the wicked wealthy, the spoiled brat teenager, the cool and rebellious writer, the helpless woman, the list goes on.

It looks like an old G J Arnaud's novel, a community study and hidden secrets thru hidden cameras network. A character's study too. Not a thriller, nor an action flick either, but on the contrary a psychological topic. So, don't misundertand about this film. I was at first a bit disappointed but after all, it's a rather interesting feature.

Wandering story moving so slowly that one can barely stay attentive. But ears will burn with these elitists' foul language that includes blasphemy. Wish I had back the hour I spent giving this a chance.

Watch with subtitles- brutal when dubbed, as are most.
I liked it. Perhaps not superb but a taste of Italian coastal beauty, intricacies and frailties of humans, the rot of wealth, angst and emotion, betrayal and usury... it simmers.

An original film with universal themes about how we all reach bad conclusions while sleepwalking through life. Watch it. It's good.

I was speculative about the movie since it has a 4.9 rating. However, the movie kept me intrigued. It doesn't have any major oh wow factors, but it wasn't any time wasted.

Netflix's English dubbed version includes many "you guys" & "guys" referring to females. Google translate says 'you guys' translates to 'ustedes' in Italian, and 'ustedes' translates to 'your' in English. Is there an equivalent Italian word or term for this highly-annoying & degrading american word/term forced on us in the 70s? I don't think so.

I wasn't able to get into the movie. Anything could distract me. I wanted to enjoy it, but the slow moving disconnected characters made it hard.
May give it another shot eventually.
