Última noche en Milán

Long time since I enjoyed a thriller/police story so much, especially at the cinema.

No CG, no big explosions, just extraordinary screenplay and acting performance. Fantastic the double-shooting of the flashback scenes, while the whole plot is re-constructed piece by piece.

I hope that only sub-titles will be added for the Sicilian and Calabrese dialogues, they are essential to create the "urban jungle" clash, as much as the chinese dialogues are kept in the original audio.

Favino fills the screen without saying a word for half his scenes, you squirm and suffer with him the whole time: yet another masterpiece from him.

A must watch.

Very nice movie! And I'm speaking from someone who usually doesn't like the genre and 8/10 hates the italian way of acting, sometimes very poor. From the intro with an amazing aerial view of Milan by night with a perfect, thrilling soundtrack, the plot unfolds in very clever way. I liked the flashback part, not exaggerated, just helpful to understand the story. The acting is pretty good, the rythm is perfect. The sound editing play the lion's share here: the music is truly remarkable, really "pulp", perfectly timed. This film for me was a huge surprise. You won't regret the choice. To be seen!

A wonderful opening sequence with stylistically typical writing and score - is this the return of the Poliziottesco? No, the hopeful nostalgics quickly hit the ground of reality, obviously that of our time. No tough 70s cop, a leading actor who, in my impression, initially embodies more of a RomCom prototype, for example. A deliberate break in style? In his role, he is semi-corrupt, disillusioned, tired of everyday life, battered, on the verge of becoming a "loser". So after a leisurely and not very meaningful 3/4 hour, i.e. A rather long span, I was ready to set my expectations back to zero for the sake of fairness, let's see what else happens, and suddenly the plot really picks up speed. The dynamics in the middle section are great cinema, the exciting follow-up in the episode no less thrilling. The makers' plan probably worked for me, hats off, a wonderful film with a great script.

Even if I'm Italian, I usually don't like italian thrillers so much. Well, this one is very, very different. It makes you feel you're inside the movie the whole time, even if there are not so many extraordinary special effects or chase scenes. You can feel from the very beginning it has a wonderful screenplay, great direction and excellent soundtrack.

Almost all actors (Favino and Caridi on top) are really amazing in their characters! I only wish some of them had used a less pronounced southern accent, or at least to have the subtitles, because some of the clips (fortunately not too many) are really hard to follow if you are not from Calabria or Sicily.

At last, an Italian genre film - thriller, noir - to be really proud of. A plot capable of surprising, masterful performances by the actors in both the main roles and the supporting cast, intelligent and never mannered direction. But what is most pleasing is that the Italian-ness goes beyond the obvious production and plot details-the setting, the characters, the cultural references- , enriching the dialogues with that typical irony proper to our country: we are brilliant even and above all in moments of crisis, even if there is a decision at stake on which our lives depend. The grade does not go toward 10 only because of some minor shortcomings in the mise-en-scene, such as some details in the key sequence (which nonetheless holds one's breath for pace and twists). An 8, however, is the minimum, well-deserved and full. Let's hope Andrea Di Stefano can return to our country to make a new film in the future.
