Got to be the best gangster pic I’ve seen. Even better than Don Corleone’s lot.

Gives real insight into the crimes of Italy at that time and shows how & why we are in the state we are.

very stark, very bleak, very dark, but the truth about the degradation of the camorra and its destructive persistence in naples. in the extreme poverty and lack of hope, the children are recruited into the crime gangs and forced to pick sides, leading to death and betrayal. the acting is superb and convincing in this beginningless and endless tale of corruption. drugs on a low level and the cynical contracts to dispose of toxic waste in illegal landfills on a 'higher' level, all combine in a kind of inferno. only one small ray of hope when one boy - roberto - decides to get out of the 'life.' a powerful indictment of a society abandoned by government and ruled by fear, this film is hard to watch at times, but i found it riveting and one of the most powerful movies i have seen for years, and a welcome antidote to all those robert de niro glossies about the american mafia. this is what really happens.Read full review
Superlative movie. Gritty, ultra-real and totally engrossing, well worth the money. It was rightfully lauded by the European Film Festivals, it's just a masterpiece that works on a number of levels. The double disc version has a host of worthy extras including interviews and cut scenes. For any fan of the genre or European Cinema in general, the advice is, buy it.
