I hardly don't know what to think about this Italian crime movie, which makes me think of all those made by the British film industry during the 2000's, and also American ones, under heavy influence of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. This Italian film is also a tribute, I think, to the PIDGEON, Mario Monicelli's most known feature. But it is certainly not a comedy, no, it is dark, bleak, with nothing comic at all in the end. But there are too many characters, no lead, and all those characters don't seem that interesting to me. But it's not a bad movie, unfortunately I had the greatest difficulties to get into it. A very personnal directing from the film maker, who tried to mix up several genres. Why not? A heist film? Hmmmm yes, if you wish.

Simple story, bumbling clowns on a budget of under $50k. Poor

I like heist films, this one is a bad one. Let's start with the super simple back story, gather a misfit bunch of guys and the easy peasy break into a vault through the sewers.
Not much to keep the audience's attention in this one. Mostly we just watch these guys fumble around time after time. There's a few more characters that really don't add anything to the story, but because it's so simple to begin with.
There is zero tension in this, which is a must for any crime movie. Perhaps the writer/director is used to creating soap opera dramas or something. This is all around a struggle to watch, and the budget is less than the cost of a mid range auto.
The only thing you'll learn watching this, is that a movie can be made for the bare minimum. Heck, I've seen bar tabs with a bigger budget.
