A master criminal has his sights on conquering Rome's underworld in this exciting gangland saga, spanning more than 25 years of criminal activity in Italy. ROMANZO CRIMINALE follows Libano from hoodlum to kingpin, tracking his rise to power, and the struggles that arise within his gang of ruthless cohorts. However, this isn't just another variation of the classic gangster film formula, as it becomes evident the gangs activities are intrinsically linked to the darker episodes of the country's history, with police and governmental corruption, kidnapping plots and even romance broadening the canvas of this epic film.

Firstly I would just like to point out to anyone reading this review and are thinking about renting this film that the whole film is in Italian with English subtitles!!! I hate films with subtitles as i think it takes your mind off the film and concentrating too much on the god damn subtitles, you might aswell just read a book!!! However I dont want to be too one sided with the film, there was loads of action and it was well shot and a good story line to boot, the only down side was like I said it not being overdubbed in english just having subtitles!!! It got tiring about a quarter way through though, i wouldnt watch it again!!! If you dont mind subtitled films then watch it defenatley, if not forget it!!!
