Romanzo Criminale

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.

  Formulaic, cliched and really quite poor
  
  We gave up on this after 30 minutes: nothing to recommend it from a real afficianado of both gangster films and European cinema. Rent 'A Prophet' ... read more »
