With the swimming pools, drugs, girls and parties come a bunch of spoilt young brats who seem to take their cues from 'American History X' and black inner city gangster movies.

The Camorra are the Neapolitan mafia; a ruthless, murderous group driven by greed and stupidity, as far removed from the concept of ‘honour' as it is possible to imagine.

Dark, seedy, and hopeless, 'Gomorra' plays like a documentary; the largely deluded characters dogged by a grim inevitability. Thought provoking, powerful but also depressing and brutally mundane; a rather l find out more...
