![[Image: gomorrah_copy.jpg]](http://cdn1.thr.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/675x380/2012/07/gomorrah_copy.jpg)
Gomorrah takes many of the conventions of different mafia and underworld movies, puts it all in a blender, and gives a great spectacle of messy people in a messy place.
This movie has very few bespoke 3 piece suits, and deaths come so often that any attempt to try to establish a hierarchy among members is quickly shattered.
It's been praised for it's realism, and one aspect I enjoyed is how it intertwines with current events and the bigger picture outside of Naples. For example, with the dumping of toxic waste, there's foreshadowing of the migrant crisis, as well as increased counterfeiting on a global scale.
Favourite scenes include:
1) The different drivers for the dump trucks
2) The initiation with the bulletproof vest
3) The final ambush of Marco and Ciro
For those who are interested in more, there's also the original book and a tv series.
