A wonderful opening sequence with stylistically typical writing and score - is this the return of the Poliziottesco? No, the hopeful nostalgics quickly hit the ground of reality, obviously that of our time. No tough 70s cop, a leading actor who, in my impression, initially embodies more of a RomCom prototype, for example. A deliberate break in style? In his role, he is semi-corrupt, disillusioned, tired of everyday life, battered, on the verge of becoming a "loser". So after a leisurely and not very meaningful 3/4 hour, i.e. A rather long span, I was ready to set my expectations back to zero for the sake of fairness, let's see what else happens, and suddenly the plot really picks up speed. The dynamics in the middle section are great cinema, the exciting follow-up in the episode no less thrilling. The makers' plan probably worked for me, hats off, a wonderful film with a great script.
Worth 2 hours of any ones time except Elon Musk, but he's not human. Don't understand why some reviews called it a Horror,(most likely AI done) not even a thriller but a suspense crime movie at it's best. Stunning intro scene I could watch every time my PC starts up. Don't love it, I'll refund the ticket, better still, Ill find a shrink in your location, IT'S THAT GOOD. Not going to explain the plot as thats just ruining anyones climax blip in their life. The sad thing about this movie and many like it is that they only come around once a year during 10 days in the form of the Italian International Film Fest. Just go and see it, and watch your back.
I was kind of disappointed. Overall it was an okay movie, but not great. The opening credits with the amazing soundtrack was really promosing (loved that song: Fate Tiptoes to a Party). However, I was pretty bored after an hour. The story didn't have any interesting turns. This story missed something to keep my attention. The movie could've been thirty minutes shorter as well. It felt like a crime drama that has been done numerous times before.
The acting, music and camerawork were great. The writing could have been better. Maybe my expectations were a little high after reading al the loving reviews.

Even if I'm Italian, I usually don't like italian thrillers so much. Well, this one is very, very different. It makes you feel you're inside the movie the whole time, even if there are not so many extraordinary special effects or chase scenes. You can feel from the very beginning it has a wonderful screenplay, great direction and excellent soundtrack.
Almost all actors (Favino and Caridi on top) are really amazing in their characters! I only wish some of them had used a less pronounced southern accent, or at least to have the subtitles, because some of the clips (fortunately not too many) are really hard to follow if you are not from Calabria or Sicily.

Long time since I enjoyed a thriller/police story so much, especially at the cinema.
No CG, no big explosions, just extraordinary screenplay and acting performance. Fantastic the double-shooting of the flashback scenes, while the whole plot is re-constructed piece by piece.
I hope that only sub-titles will be added for the Sicilian and Calabrese dialogues, they are essential to create the "urban jungle" clash, as much as the chinese dialogues are kept in the original audio.
Favino fills the screen without saying a word for half his scenes, you squirm and suffer with him the whole time: yet another masterpiece from him.
A must watch.

- TriviaThe crew published ads in Chinese in Chinese-Italian magazines to find people from the Chinese community in Milan. Many people showed up to the casting process very excited about the opportunity to be represented realistically in an Italian movie, even if only a fraction of that community is shown onscreen.
