Suburra

A fantastic Italian mob movie. Recommended.

Countdown to apocalypse. Corruption as a way the city breathes and lives all the way from gypsy gangsters to Vatican - Pope about to resign. All starts when a teenager dies after a night of drugs and sex with a politician and a prostitute. She contacts a brother of the gypsy gangster to help her get rid of the body. His family goes after a business man whose father left a huge debt. The politician gets rid of the gypsy. And then a mob war starts. Good eye for atmosphere and stylish action scenes

Blazing Crime drama in pure Italian culture, Highly recommended

Stylish Italian mafia-noire which fails to cash in all the suspense that was building up. It's a nice movie with some really great acting and scenery but with actors like this, this could be a masterpiece. But it's only a good movie that feels more real than its famous counter parts. Probably wouldn't watch again, at least not in the next 10+ years.

So, yeah I was entertained. The same way I enjoy listening to Mumford & Sons or watching The Big Bang Theory. Nothing changes, nothing stays. Only because it is crafty and pretends to be deep by killing hookers and doing the old Wag-The-Dog-Veep-whatever-thing with not showing the Prime Minister. That doesn't turn this HD carnage into something interesting. So, spoiler alert: people die and Rome is filthy.
