This is a good movie, from the novel by Beppe Fenoglio, one of 20th Century masterpieces of Italian Literature. It wasn't easy putting this novel on film, but the director did quite a good job. It's not an action movie: it's more about Johnny asking himself what he's doing and why he's doing it and especially if what he's doing is right. I have seen this movie in anguish, because I had read the book before and I knew the end.
