Slick. Suave. Gentle. Brutal. Wild. Out for all he can take, seduce, or get away with...!

Agreeable and brilliant rendition , not taking any situation seriously ; being based on famous strip-cartoon thriller titled "Diabolik", one of the longest running - and most successful - Italian comic strips , known as "fumetti" drew by Angela Giussani and Luciana Giussani . This very campy picture contains thrills , action , phantasmagoria , psychedelia , pop art , tongue-in-cheek , absurd situations , and being competently developed , including split screen . Fantastic production design and art design influenced by the original comic books and James Bond movies , showing splendidly the breathtaking settings at a remote cave in a mountain and others . Through a retro aesthetic , this new reboot introduces the viewer into a tense and cold atmosphere that has the best ingredients of Noir cinema : impassive femme fatales , twisted criminals , a staging full of shadows and a police investigation determined to unmask to this relentless thief . Here Luca Marinelli and Miriam Leone replace John Philip Law and Marisa Mell but they do not reach those iconic figures resulting in being an inferior and overlong film compared to Mario Bava's classic . Diabolik (2021) won the 2022 David Di Donatello Award for Best Original Song : La profondita degli abiss and was nominated for 11 more statuettes, including a Best Lead Actress nomination for gorgeous Miriam Leone.

The main and support cast -with everyone having fun- are frankly good . Luca Marinelli is fine in the title character as the masked career thief known only as Diabolik , who eludes his official pursuers with his mistress and partner-in-crime . Bombshell Miriam Leone as wonderful colleague is ideal actress to her role , she shines and expands her beauty and extreme sexuality . The best of the interpretations result to be Valerio Mastandrea as stubborn police inspector who's usually duped and Claudia Gerini as Signora Morel . It contains lively and catching original music score by Aldo De Scalzi . As well as glimmer and glamorous cinematography by Francesca Ametrano . The motion picture was decently directed by Antonio Manetti, Marco Manetti who have made a sequel titled Diabolik - Ginko all'attacco! (2022) with Giacomo Gianniotti as Diabolik , Miriam Leone , Eva Kant , Valerio Mastandrea as Ispettore Ginko and Monica Bellucci. The picture will appeal to thriller genre buffs . Rating 6.5/10.
