michele placido and who have always be a very very mediocre actor himself and not to mention director and make this movie out of a book which be out of a very true story . the book be quite good and the movie be not . the real banda della magliana mix up with mafia and camorra and secret service and terrorism and and whatsmore . they be quite coldblooded people who act only for their interest . these guy be part of many of the most infamous chapter of the italian history . what do we see about that in the movie . nothing . we see some very insipid love story and some more insipid gangster story and we be even suppose to feel sorry for some of these guy . because they be supposedly men of honour . and not one word about why this bunch of people be so notorious and fear and and protect by the powerfuls . shame to the horrible placido . he do not even gather the courage to portarait half of the real story . i can not understand why he be give the money to make this piece of garbage . or maybe andreotti pay . lol that would be the cherry on this tasteless pie .
