[Makes] brilliant use of seemingly endless array of run-down and abandoned buildings and spaces.

Sidesteps grandiose statements in favor of a lean and brutal gangster-as-capitalist analysis that at its fiercest feels like a continuation of Francesco Rosi's caustic mafia exposés.

The sheer pervasiveness of corruption is eye-opening, and it justifies the narrative structure somewhat, but it seems a slight point to be making over the course of two and a half hours.

Gomorra has its own nerve, as well as the filmmaking intelligence to strip the cliches from its densely packed, authentically inhabited narrative. The new moviegoing year just got one hell of a jolt.
