Gomorra (DVD)

Gomorra (2008) starring an all-Italian cast. A multifaceted look at the Neapolitan crime mob known as the Camorra, who are reputed to be more fearsome than the Mafia. The movie follows several separate characters along parallel plot-lines as they deal with different aspects of the organization. There's lots of violence and some nudity -- the film is unrated. It's no "Godfather," but it has its own gritty power. The spelling of the title is correct -- I'm guessing, an allusion to Sodom and Gomorrah. In Italian, with English subtitles. Grade: B+
