it takes such a cynical viewpoint
Okay, the acting is virtually non-existent, the same room and furnishings are used for most scenes, which include a brothel, a dungeon and a courtroom (!) and at times it seems you are watching two different films spliced together, but somehow this just about works. It starts slowly and predictably but suddenly takes off and by the end has covered so many bases you will be wondering how Mr Campa got it all in. One of the reasons this works so well is because it takes such a cynical viewpoint, even the DA seems in on the various rackets. Nobody comes out of this well but almost everybody seems to enjoy themselves and that's another thing, it's pretty sexy in parts.
