This dealt exclusively, indeed myopically, with Italy's criminal underclass. Every scene was set in a scuzzy location. Every character was somehow involved in criminal activity. Every so often extreme violence would burst out...it wasn't always clear who was killing whom and in the end it didn't really matter. One character says...we've gotta make some corpses...and so they do.
There was nothing new here, nothing to learn. No insight. Just ugly people doing unspeakable things to each other for two hours. And counting money, seeing prostitutes, shooting guns and playing video games.
It just doesn't get bleaker or less hopeful than this.
