Ultras

Didn't expect a lot, but the movie was actually very good. Excellent acting and a believable story.

After the trailer you would of liked to imagined a full plot twist story. But no😂. It's literally the longer version of the trailer. The ending is so predictable and so... Clichéd. But I gave 6 for the producer and actors, great job. Soundtrack very good too. It's a pretty good movie if you want to see it just as a movie, without further involvement comparing with the real ultras life. But if you do...come on, in this movie the relationship football-ultras doesn't exist. No in stadium footage, no words about football as a sport, which gives the movie the biggest minus. We all know Italy it's full of passion for Calcio, good thing they washed their hands at the beginning of the movie saying that no real-life ultras took place in the movie production. And as I'm writing I'm thinking... How clichéd is this too... Napoli. If it was England it would of been Millwall, France - Marseille, you got my point.

But still, as a movie, it's totally ok. Worth the try.

I've never shown interest in football fans, be it true fans or ultras. Heck, I don't even care about this sport at all. However, it's happening in Naples, and after the TV show Gomorrah everything connected to the city sparks my interest.

What we have here is a somewhat predictable story with solid actors. At times it was obvious the production budget was tight, yet the authors managed to create a watchable and coherent movie.

Ultras is done in such a way that you forget your feelings about football or its fans. Above all this is a movie about human condition, choices people make and the consequences of those decisions.

The story and acting was very good and realy liked the movie. It's not a documentary about hooligans and football but more about the life of a middle aged member of Ultras. He's tired of his aging identity, has doubts about the future. He wants to taste other parts of life that he missed all these past years.

"Ultras" is an intense, gritty portrayal of the passionate and at times violent world of soccer fan culture in Naples, hinged on the life of an aging ultra named Sandro. The work succeeds impressively in portraying the naked energy and eventual loyalty these fan groups have toward their teams. The cinematography is equally appreciated, capturing the vibrant and turbulent atmosphere of the city. Sometimes, however, the real momentum of the narrative is not that strong; sometimes character development sounds superficial, underutilizing most of the supporting cast. Despite these drawbacks, "Ultras" does curate an exciting vision of a subculture in cinema that is too rarely depicted while attempting its social critique through balancing a heartfelt trawl about identity and belonging.
