Its compelling mix of trial movie, escape movie and unexpected fable ensures the film never feels draggy. Go to Full Review

Seems to have less to do with lived moral dilemmas than with the smug piety of its makers. Go to Full Review
David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Feb 16, 2021
A great deal of commotion is organized to conceal the fact that the filmmaker has little to say about contemporary life in general or even his own individual life and circumstances. Go to Full Review

Even the distresses of abandoning hope and wishing to pay for sins exhibit an artistry rarely found in these kinds of storylines (the kind involving vigilante justice). Go to Full Review

Harry S Jul 12, 2018 Let me praise the beautiful camera work. I got mush pleasure watching it with boxxy software. Italy looks beautiful through the lens here. It was definitely made by a great film maker. Some may say the pace is irrelevant. It isn't. The central story of intrigue and suspense is completely supplanted. Every time the camera takes the extra 2 or 3 seconds on a beautiful shot is like a 2 or 3 seconds commercial. In a very short order, the movie can ground to a halt and disrupting any flow it may achieve. This is half a film with a lot of fillers. It needs an editor, and a more meaty 3rd act. See more
