User Reviews

WONDERFUL!

I suppose USA and generally non-Italian users cannot know who's Carlo Lucarelli. Well: Carlo Lucarelli is a journalist, a very famous (in Italy) journalist, specialized in crime columns. He worked for all major Italian newspapers and TVs, until he didn't decided to work by himself and became a black novels writer. ALMOST BLUE is based upon a his novel: and Lucarelli's experience with REAL facts obviously contributed to create a State-Of-The-Art thriller, with a very original plot and the usual, necessary GORE. It's a very, VERY good product: realistic, chilling, entertaining, absolutely NEW for the Italian cinema industry (monopolized by DARIO ARGENTO, regarding thrillers). Two thumps up and ten stars.
