Bastards with Franco Nero and Don Johnson The film focuses on two crime families in Italy. They're feuding. But instead of the usual for the seventies shootings and kidnappings, the conflict is quite normal, without special effects. We will be shown leisurely breakfasts and nice family conversations. This is not the mafia in the usual sense of Italian cinema, but ordinary people who use crime only as a tool.
The film is pleasantly surprised by the selection of actors. Starring Franco Nero and Don Johnson. And on the "playback" of Barbara Boucher and Giancarlo Gianini. And these actors do not fully correspond to the sluggish and sluggish process that unfolds before us.
By the middle of the tape, attention no longer turns to the plot - to the actors. From Nero to Don Johnson. But... Famous actors had nothing to play. It was clear that the potential of these men had only to be channelled. Even at an older age, these cool guys are ready to prove their leadership every time.
In fact, the tape was reduced to boring dialogue. The intrigue gradually developed furiously bringing this tape closer to the serial format. But the timing of the picture suggested action. Otherwise, an hour and a half of screen time could last immeasurably long. And that's exactly what happened. The lack of bright scenes led to the fact that the picture seemed elongated at least three times.
I thought the final was crumpled. Hence the misunderstanding. This film could nominally be a true hit, but it turned out very faded.
