The Family (Malavita) (2013)

Holy shit, this was amazing.

Not a fan of gangster films here, but this was so tastefully done, in the best traditions of Luc Besson and, dare I say, French cinema style.

It's not really boring though it does get tiring, sometime in the second hour. Yet it's perfectly justified in terms of plot and character development. Afterwards, we get to the suspense and the tension which make you fidget in your seat and if you are bold and very relaxed you can start guessing which of the bad guys are gonna get killed first. Absolutely lovely.

To sum up, style, colours, marvelous actors, a touch of humour and ruthlessness (they are a mafiosi family, after all). No regrets.
