WHAT'S IT ABOUT? A gang of young pretenders set up a ruthless organised crime unit in Italy, dabbling in political corruption, murder and kidnapping for over 25 years, occasionally finding time to poke each other in the back like complete gits.

ANY GOOD? Incredibly gloomy Mafia epic, with high degree of authenticity, considering it's actually been made by Italians in Italy.

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'The Dolmio of gangster films!'

REASON TO WATCH: Goes well with red wine and a tomato-y bolognese sauce.
