Dernière nuit à Milan

I watched this movie at the San Sebastián film festival along with friends. We were mesmerized. The acting and script are incredibly powerful, the plot being quite original. A must watch for anyone who loves a good thriller. And the fact that it is Italian and combines a little bit of Italian culture, pasta, loud women and mafia adds to the interest even for me a woman not particularly keen on mafia movies. Too bad they have not yet released it in Spain.

I loved all of the main characters and the actress who plays the wife of the main character is a great comedian. She captures the attention from the start and it's a great credit to the director that she is given a role where she can show all her potential. A movie not to be missed! Suspenseful, fun, moving and electric!

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.

A great story, but unfortunately poorly turned into a movie. The story has great potential but the script is quite cheap.

I like watching non-American movies, especially thrillers, so I started watching this movie with great anticipation. The scenes were so-so for the first few minutes and it almost put me off continuing to watch. It was only later in the film that it became clear why.

There are quite a few holes in the story that could have been shown much better, with more authenticity and more realistically shown. For example, when we see dozens of fellow cops at the crime scene, and the main protagonist is brought a glass of water by a forensics officer who has left the scene (would a forensics officer really leave a crime scene and bring water to someone who is hidden behind other people??) .

Too bad for a lost opportunity.

Very nice movie! And I'm speaking from someone who usually doesn't like the genre and 8/10 hates the italian way of acting, sometimes very poor. From the intro with an amazing aerial view of Milan by night with a perfect, thrilling soundtrack, the plot unfolds in very clever way. I liked the flashback part, not exaggerated, just helpful to understand the story. The acting is pretty good, the rythm is perfect. The sound editing play the lion's share here: the music is truly remarkable, really "pulp", perfectly timed. This film for me was a huge surprise. You won't regret the choice. To be seen!

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.
