Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
SENZA NESSUNA PIETÀ
Synopsis
Mimmo likes building things better than breaking bones. He’d like to be just a bricklayer, but he’s also obliged to collect debts from the inhabitants of highrises on the outskirts of Rome. He works for his uncle, Mr. Santili, whom he loves and respects like a father.

Our take
For his directorial debut, actor Michele Alhaique delivers a satisfyingly slick gangster noir. At the heart of Senza nessuna pietà is a gentle giant, reluctant in his thuggery—but for whatever relief this offers, the outskirts of Rome remain a harsh and cold place to be in this on-the-run thriller.
