Comment:
Filmaccio Italian production that seeks to build on the success of the very classic Coppola (mentioned several times in the film through the film posters displayed around the city) offering a mafia movie starring a character women. Despite the great cast of characters stuffed like the film captivates.
illusion with a promising start but tired and tedious, due to a central block rather anonymous and arrogant, then rebounded in the last fractions, characterized by rapid string of killings, declaring the fulfillment of the revenge of the widow and will put an end to a disappointing work.
Although the subject is attractive, the film does not capture probably because of Lydia Alfonsi, inappropriate and certainly not up to the party. Nothing particularly significant to report except some sequences of strong impact that winks at a masterpiece with Marlon Brando (a severed hand in a cake, the equivalent of the horse's head in bed), the job of Maurice Poli and some solutions that poveristiche could well be compared to those adopted in some (s) Turkish cult (the final attack with the rocket launcher is very reminiscent the Serdar of Korkusuz).
forgotten and, indeed, forgotten.
Memorable Scene: The final attack with rocket launchers, and some dialogs in a very narrow Sicilian dialect.
