Based on the bestselling novel Gomorrah, by Roberto Saviano, this film tells the story of the mafia in Napoli, and its influence across all age groups and business sectors.Since writing the book, Saviano has been threatened by several members of the Camorra, the Neapolitan equivalent of Sicily's Cosa Nostra, and now "enjoys" a permanent police escort.
This movie is gritty and engrossing. It's as good as The Godfather, although less penetrable as it's in Italian.
If you remember 2008's news stories about mountains of trash piling up in south-western Italy, it was trouble with this crew that caused it.
