At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreTalky and boring Italian production about a criminal low life who's lost his memory, spilling the beans to a priest, Danny Glover, on a train, complete with flashbacks and other dull nonsense. Besides Glover, who probably shot his scenes on the train in one day, the film boasts name stars in small roles from Michael "Reservoir Dogs" Madsen, Steven "Scarface" Bauer, and John "The Deer Hunter" Savage. With than many of decent actors, you'd think this production might be halfway decent, but you'd be mistaken. No action and no interesting characters or storyline. Madsen seems to be the only one who's having fun and realizes that he's trapped in a terrible movie. I don't think he took off his sunglasses once the entire film and I don't blame him.

Well The film You can clearly see which is independent, Maybe Shot with just a few Means and Digital, but I is not sorry and then the producer and the director Hanno Done UN Miracle, cast put on UN International! These Actors Americans believe is the first time IL Able to act in UN Independent movies and more Italian, From Images you see the What Was Shot in Sicily, I recommend it to The Italo.Americani all. Does anyone know the director? I would put in contact with him. Thank you. L.Antony Ps : I think that this movie has only one problem , the language...some dialogo in Italian and some in English , they must dubbing it before to sell...
... View MoreI think it's a really interesting film, the script has some holes ... but on the whole it becomes interesting.I loved the small roles, then tells a harsh reality. The scene of the train with Danny glover is very strong ,... train travel you see that is fake...but it is an independent movie... Location of Sicily are fantastic. Shootings are very crude, photography is quite simple, editing quite insistent. the soundtrack, I do not really like , I think there was a true artist. Is a long time since I saw a movie with lots of close-ups, this made me pleasure. I must say that there are some very nice shots. I believe that with more money might be a good movie.
... View MoreIn a plot that doesn't make sense, using the standard jumping from the present to the past to explain, and using music that gives the movie an edge, the viewer is left wondering why they just wasted an hour and twenty minutes of their life and, more importantly, why Danny Glover accepted this this role. The movie is rife with "build-ups" that lead to nothing, relationships that lead nowhere, and confusion galore. But the most confusion thing about the whole movie, like chalked up to "artistic freedom", is when two people have a conversation. Typically, one is talking in Italian while one is talking in English, with no translators. Why don't you just talk in one language? Clearly you understand both languages. Did the director just have a friend who did subtitles for movies that needed a job? About the only good thing about the movie is the fairly realistic gun firing.
