The universal nature of crime -- and its dark appeal -- is driven home with bullets and bravado.
- Peter Howell, TORONTO STAR
Exciting, impressively directed gangster epic with superb performances and a soundtrack ripped straight from Scorseses iTunes.

A rowdy, rollicking throwback... heaps of fun.

Synopsis
Rome, 1960’s. Three young criminals, Lebanese (Pierfrancesco Favino), Ice (Kim Rossi Stuart) and Dandy (Claudio Santamaria), with the help of a makeshift gang of thugs, including Black (Riccardo Scamarcio), an extremist who thinks he’s the last samurai, kidnap and brutally kill a rich proprietor. With the ransom money in hand, they decide to invest it, together, in the heroine business. It’s the birth of a smart and ruthless organization, which crushes all its rivals, assumes total control of the drug trade, and imposes its brutal criminal rule on Rome. Interspersed with incidents from Italy's turbulent social history 'Crime Novel' exposes links between career criminals, terrorists and corrupt politicians.Theatrical Release Date
