Nada Santo

Good movie . Lead actor was good . Brought character to the role . Def worth a watch. Authentic feel. Seems low budget but none the worse for it. Good show , check it out.

Is it obvious that this is a formulaic gangster movie? One reviewer notes "la frase dice tutto" (the phrase says it all). It has all the ingredients of this genre, and the viewer might be wondering whether there's something different about it that sets it apart from the usual fare.

Well, there are several positive points.

First, the acting of Riccardo Scamarcio (as Santo Russo) is convincing which prods the viewer to see where the ruthless story goes. Second, the story explores different angles and plot lines that add texture to the storytelling. And, third, a pinch of dark humor in the right places. All these elements work together to produce an entertaining watch.

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.

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.

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