Review of Gomorrah (2008) by Joseph F — 12 Nov 2009

This movie is about the ruthless underworld entity known at the Comorrah located in Naples. The movie shows different aspects of the organization though different stories that are not really strung together in any conventional way.

Although there is a fair amount of violence it really does not over do it or glamorize it in anyway. A lot of the actors are actual citizens of the slums the movie takes place in. There have been a bunch of these types of movies coming out lately: stories about gang life in various ghettos across the globe.

This ranks up there with the best of them.
