Such a frustrating disappointment

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

I love this show! Being Italian and watching the subtitles makes me wonder why they used Google translate? The absolute worst I have ever seen. Please replace your subtitle company. Now that that's out of the way, I love Imma, Pietro and especially Ciro. The depth of the characters and the storyline. Binge watching the 1st season! Love it!

This is a collection of five stories about people who are touched by the gritty Neapolitan crime world. There is a gang war erupting. Don Ciro is a scared middleman. He is jumped by the other side and forced to take them back to his location. Roberto works in waste management and his boss Franco is dumping toxic wastes. Pasquale works as a high fashion tailor controlled by the mob. He moonlights for their Chinese competitor but it goes wrong. Marco and Ciro are young gangster wannabes. They get in over their heads.This is a great faux-realistic take on the modern mob. It opens with a bang. I will always remember the waste disposal because of the subject matter. The two youngsters are probably the most compelling characters. There are some ups and downs. It's a disjointed watch. It's a wide-ranging take on the subject and proves to be an effective one.

After reading all the praise heaped on this movie, I expected something interesting. What I got instead was a couple hours of following around people while they do rather boring things. I didn't really think it was possible to make organized crime seem so banal. Perhaps the movie might have benefited from a few less characters. There was never really a reason to care about any of the people in this film. There was no real story to follow. There was no climax to the movie. It was all pretty much just a flat line. I think all of that stems from a complete lack of focus. Because it jumps from one character to the next, there is no cohesive plot. Rather we just get several stories that don't really leave us with anything. We see people being shot at, buying drugs, beaten up, but the audience is kept at such a distance from the action that it never really has an impact.

In Neapolitan Camorra, the semi-fictional events of Matteo Garrone on location around Naples with incredible precision dressed in frightening images. And the film has become the uncompromising declaration of war against the Camorra, the international drug trade, toxic waste, sweatshop the production of designer fashion and monopoly on the cement trade has. On five separate fates GOMORRHA describes the suggestive power of the Camorra, the operations by which the clans claiming their power and the manipulation that they keep their dirty business in motion a cruel world that is nevertheless deeply rooted in reality. Why GOMORRHA big Mafia films like "Scarface" (Brian DE Palma), "Hands Over the City" (Francesco Rosi) or "The Godfather" (Francis Ford Coppola) perpetuates - and frighteningly current. In Italy, GOMORRHA immediately put to the top of the box office and drew within the first two weeks of spectacular 1.5 million visitors in the movie theaters. That's what I read on the back of the DVD.GOMORRHA won the ARRI Zeiss Award at the Munich Film Festival and received at the Cannes Film Festival Grand Jury Prize. No surprise there... it deserved it.The film is not "the godfather", not about the heads of the Mafia, but the everyday life on the street below. Sometimes one feels like being in the slums where Mafia really makes their businesses. You look to have what the normality of violence surrounding the Mafia seems. The killer does not come with a pinstripe suit, sunglasses and a violin case, therefore, but in flip flops and shorts, the killings are far from action movies and theatricality. According guy has the Camorra in Europe more people on his conscience than any other criminal or terrorist organization in the last thirty years - a dead man every 3 days. The Comprehensible that the Camorra, the book and the movie have been made.The press release for the film reads more about the Mafia, but it is not your old mafia, but the new. And the comparison fits, Gomorrah can be described as "educational film about the NEW Mafia". Good film!
