Criminally ...

... attached? I reckon when you go back to where you came from (I think it will be tough to convince anyone that there is no pun intended here, but I'll give it a shot),. You may have to deal with stuff you left behind ... and new stuff that is arising. I reckon you can say it is cliche to have this play in Italy and have criminal activity on display ... Mafia and otherwise.The actors are really good and the story makes sense ... and is quite filled with suspense. This is not Goodfellas or anything - but not every movie has to be like that (story and quality wise that is) ... it still works fine, especially with having a woman being one of the main characters ... will she be able to overcome the hurdles? Do we want her to? Moral compasses and all that ... do not be too sensitive and just try to enjoy a story that is flawed yet more than interesting.

Angels with Dirty Wings

In essence, this film could be a 1930s Warner gangster film: two childhood friends split up and meet more than twenty years later; one has become a gangster, the other a public prosecutor. The twist here- which they couldn't have then- is that the gangster is a woman and they begin to fancy each other. Of course, it might be even more of a twist if they were both women... On one level it's an efficient, well-made film. The trouble is, that's all it is. Yes, it's a melodramatic plot, but the whole history of Italian crime is melodramatic. The trouble is, while we know the conventions for 1930s gangster films, we don't know them here. We don't know about the children's backgrounds. We don't know why Lucia hitched up with Infantino and had a child with him. We don't know how Ignazio got to go to university. We don't know why Fabio became a heroin addict. We don't know how Lucia got to lead a bunch of misogynists- she shows no especial skills or abilities- and stayed in control of them. There's too much we have to take on trust for it to be a great- or even very good- film. All the same, it's worth watching, as long as you don't expect too much of it, and the last few minutes, as Lucia takes shelter with Ignazio after all of her gang has been killed and his career has been destroyed, and we see the two of them walk out of each others' lives for fatal futures are genuinely powerful and moving and reach the level of tragedy.
