"Gomorra" is a contemporary Neapolitan mob drama that exposes Italy's criminal underbelly by telling five stories of individuals who think they can make their own compact with Camorra, the area's Mafia."

I'm pretty damn excited about this movie, it looks dead exciting. And i'm also a sucker for mafia-type movies like this. If you liked the City of God (Cidade de Deus), you'll probably wanna catch this one. Gomorrah is based in Naples, Italy where Camorra still runs to this day.

The Camorra itself was directly responsible for 4000 murders and indirectly led to 10,000 deaths over the space of thirty years. That's more than any other criminal organization or terrorist group. It has killed more people than the IRA, ETA and Islamic terrorist groups. They are so vicious and violent that the author of the book in which this movie is based on has to live under protective custody of the police for the rest of his life.

And the insane thing is how bloody rich they are. They are so powerful that they are one of the strongholds of the economy in Europe with business estimated at 150 billion euros per year!!

This is one of those movies that has such massive potential. It looks like something that will really shock those of us who live with complete safety and comfort. So, what the fuck have you done with your life lately?
