Mimmo is the adopted son of the crime family led by Santili, the patriarch. Mimmo and his cousin Manuel, legitimate son of the boss, act in a ruthless and arrogant way for the whole city, now terrified by their power. Despite everything, however, Mimmo, even if faithful to his family, would like to get out and live a quiet and peaceful life. He receives the task of bringing an escort, Tania, to his cousin's house in view of a party but falls in love with her and here his world start to collapse.
I don't understand the vote on IMDB for this film. Favino is great as always, but also Gioé, Adriano Giannini (son of famous actor Giancarlo Giannini) and Scarano do their job pretty well. Ninetto Davoli is a great stepfather. But the best part is the story. No Italian cliché, no standard love story or happy ending. There is violence and blood, but that's how a noir film is. This film is gripping until the end.
