Everything in this movie from the production value to the acting - is underwhelming .
The result is something that resembles a bad television episode of a crime series, definitely not movie. The story is simple and narrated in a very straight forward way. An average episode of Law and Order SVU has many more smart twists and turns than this production.
The camera work and the cinematography are just alright. The casting and the direction of the actors are very poor. The result, as in too many Italian movies lately, is that actors are left alone to do what they can, showing enormous differences in their performances. You have Tony Servillo and Valeria Golino doing their job, but most of the rest of the cast is borderline amateur.
This movie greatly embodies the little ambitions that too often have been lately seen in Italian Cinema.
