This is basically a crime thriller kinda deal. There’s always the quick labels to slap on things, not like this one is overly complicated. But it’s a decent mafia kinda flick, from the land of mafiosos that isn’t New Jersey. Yeah, you may have to do some subtitles for this one unless there’s a good cheese English dub you can find. I streamed it off of Kanopy with English subtitles so, there’s that. But damn. Lead man Ugo is like a cross between Jason Statham, Ron Perlman and Steve McQueen, but maybe more Ron Perlman and, oddly, my old realtor Mike. Spitting image of him, really. But yeah, Ugo don’t take no guff. From no mafia swine or otherwise.
Ugo, fresh out of the clink after a 3 year stint. Robbery gone awry. His Old Boss is sure to pick him up after release, give him the usual interrogation as to why the heist money was never obtained. Where’s the Money, Lebowski? He don’t have it. But re-integrating into normal life isn’t the easiest thing, even with a hot blonde dancer chick girlfriend. The old TOTALLY NOT MAFIA RELATED boss has some ongoing concerns about his missing $300K US. Which back then was like, at least double that worth. Maybe closer to $2.3 Million in today’s dollars. So, you know, something you want to keep track of. Even if you need to break a kneecap or two to find out.
