    A beautiful understated gangster romance. Rather than focusing on the "cool" criminals we get to see the life of a man who spends his time waiting. He waits around in bars, and in his hotel room. Despite being isolated by the mob, he also isolates himself. Keeping a firm distance...( read more) from human contact. The film follows his path back to humanity and handles it beautifully. The film is excellently shot, starting with what could be considered a modern day Omar Shariff Lawrence of Arabia entrance as a man slowly approaches the camera. It's handled in a way which seems to skip the most exciting moments of usual films, in many ways it is like No Country For Old Men. More thoughtful than violent with moments to ponder over. It doesn't hurt that it stars one of the most beautiful women ever. She's rather a bit lovely. Servillo deserved some award recognition for his wonderfully subtle performance, pulling off lonely cantankerous old man with always a hint of class and lethal killing machine to him.

    an italian disaster. it makes me think a little bit of the coen brothers "the man who wasn't there" in the sense that the main character has things happen to him rather than him causing things to happen in his life. only the coen brothers pulled it off. paolo sorrentino did not

    A brilliant and stylish film from Italy. Toni Servillo does a great job as the miserable and deadpan Titta di Girolamo. The camera techniques and soundtrack Paolo Sorrentino uses both pay off. Definitely a director to keep an eye on.

    A mafia courier lives his life alone,repeating the same routine every day...Paolo Sorrentino with a great storytelling tells us his story, about his desire of being alone and to get the attention of people who really matters for him at the same time.
    The movie is a bit too slow a...( read more)nd the dialogues cold,but I think it's all part of the movie concept: a disillusioned representation of relationships and life.

    It's awsome!! The screeplay is really well studied and everything works as it has to do. It's one of those films that you continue to think of a lot after they've ended!
