A little coherence would be nice
I came into GOMORRAH expecting an Italian version of CITY OF GOD: a grim, gritty story following would-be gangsters as they go about their business on city streets, where violence and corruption are matter of fact and ruthlessness the norm.

I got nothing like.

Honestly speaking, I found GOMORRAH a bore. Rather, an anthology of five separate boring stories, each of them following different non-entities as they find themselves exposed to the criminal world. Mixing stories together like this can achieve a level of exquisite beauty when done right (I’m thinking BABEL), but it takes an exceptionally talented scriptwriter and director for this to occur. GOMORRAH features neither.

The film feels disjointed and dull. The criminal scenes are repetitive and bring no insight into the world of the modern gangster. The shoot-outs are predictable and the characters singularly unpleasant. Voice over narration might have helped a little. Overall, the biggest problem is the the film lacks in coherence. You might as well be watching CCTV footage that abruptly changes location every few minutes. CITY OF GOD this isn’t.Read More
