Trivia
During the sequence of the theft in the house of the alleged connoisseur of the underworld, Remo Guerra tells him: "You see, it doesn't just happen in movies, it really happens too". From that moment it is possible to see on the television behind the attacked the broadcast of the film The Great Train Robbery, a revolutionary American film of 1903, which deals with a robbery. This homage is followed by a real quote in the last shot that precedes the credits: Remo Guerra shoots towards the camera, as happens in The Great Train Robbery.

An italian noir

Dark atmospheres, rusty dialogues, scenes of violence...it doesn't seem an italian movie, but it is. There is a strong influence by Tarantino's first films and the reference to "Taxi Driver" in the iconic mirror-scene is evident.

Everything works very well: acting, screenplay, directing. Very good performance by Valerio Mastandrea.

I recommend it.
