Here’s a new Italian crime film, directed by Stefano Sollima (Sergio’s son, so he should have it in the genes!)\u00a0 Sollima jr was involved in the two succesful Romanzo criminale <\/strong>TV series and this is quite a hotly anticipated release (it’s opened in over 300 cinemas, which is a huge amount for an Italian film which isn’t <\/em>a comedy).<\/p>\n

Here’s the blurb from FilmItalia:<\/p>\n

The film is inspired by the book ACAB by Carlo Bonini \u2013 published in Italy by Giulio Einaudi Editore \u2013 which tells a true story. ACAB stands for \u00ab All Cops Are Bastards \u00bb, a slogan first used in England in the 1970\u2019s by skinheads and which quickly become a universal call to urban guerrillas, both in the stadiums and in the streets.<\/p>\n

Cobra (Piefrancesco Favino), Nero (Filippo Nigro) and Mazinga (Marco Giallini) are three \u201cbastard riot cops\u201d who, confronting violence on a daily basis, have learned to be targets. The violence in which they are immersed mirrors a chaotic society ruled by hate.<\/p>\n

Their only aim is to restore social order and make people respect rules, even if through the use of force.<\/p>\n

In the most difficult moment of their own private lives, they meet the young recruit Adriano (Domenico Diele), who\u2019s just joined their unit and needs to be trained. Educating him on legality and order and even on violent law enforcement becomes a means to telling the stories of the controversial riot cops unit, as seen from the inside, set against the background of several of the most shocking episodes of urban violence in contemporary Italian society, from the death of a protestor at the G8 Summit in Genoa in 2001, to the death of a soccer fan, by a police officer\u2019s gun, in 2007.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The cast includes Pier Franesco Favino (the film version of Romanzo criminale<\/strong>, Miracle at S. Anna<\/strong>) & Marco Giallini (The Family Friend<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
