Sams K 10/29/2024 Absolute rubbish. Everything's so bad in this one. See more Martino N 06/05/2024 The perfect film to state that writing a good movie requires a pen only. Great acting, good direction, only limit is the grotesque representation of "superheroes features". Due to the low budget probably the movie would have been better if the plot had enphasized more gangstar movie features. Overall, it was a revelation in Italy, but I ask myself what the movie can bring to an international table See more Tony n 03/17/2024 A good Italian science fiction! See more Freeman D 05/04/2023 A superhero movie in Tarantino sauce, a must see See more Tony S 12/24/2021 A gritty and violent story about a social outcast in Rome. Who, amidst city's bombing turmoil, comes into super power and learns, that with great power comes with great responsibility, all that jazz. It's punctuated by a very weird relationship of our protagonist and a woman, either autistic or with some kind of mental problems. Who acts like she 12, completely stuck in that mentality, obsessed with a titled anime series 'Steel Jeeg' and seeing the world through the prism of its characters. Their romance is really uncomfortable to watch and the movie knows this, clearly playing up how broken these two are. The more you watch, the less you understand why they licensed anime series to begin with. Anime it self is directly shown multiple times but nothing comes from it. It could've been literally anything as far as plot concerned. Maybe this series had cult status in Italy. Ilenia Pastorelli's acting as Alessia is borderline irritating too. If she is supposed to be a pitiful character with a tragic fate. Her screaming and being deliberately aloof really clashes with this intention. The antagonist, Fabio is great and entertaining, I've never seen someone punching a grandma with so much glee. The movie is tightly directed. Really driving that urban superhero plot into a very satisfying conclusion. See more 11/01/2020 An amazing blend of US Superhero theme with Japanese evil character and Italian drama. The vision was enjoyable and never boring. See more Read all reviews
