There are some bold claims made by the marketing team for this film. "The Greatest Mafia Movie Ever Made" at the top of the movie poster. Other posters claim it to be a "Modern Classic" and the "Best Since City of God." It wasn't that I saw these claims before watching this and expected more, I actually didn't see this until I was looking for a picture to add to the blog.The film gives no background, no location, no date, no explaination, it just starts... not a bad thing... but 3-4 minutes later you are now following a different main character, and every 3-4 minutes you jump around, again and again. After an hour I was able to figure out we were following five different storylines, and it wasn't until I paused and looked online that I found out what country we were actually in [Italy if you were curious].
So I've been here before, Pulp Fiction & Amores perros are some great examples of films that jump around and put the pieces together in the end. The key difference is that these films draw you in, you stop caring about how it will come together and enjoy the acting and the film itself. When it comes together it is great! However, when a film jumps around and you are constantly asking "what is the point of this?" and "where is this going?" and "who was this guy again?" You really stop caring if it will come together and just hope it will end.
So in the end does it make sense, well, not really, that is why you should avoid this one... yuck...
