A soulful romance, an existential action flick and something of a miracle movie - the appealing slow-burner "Salvo" hovers at the crossroads of genre.
Viewers looking for a shoot-em-up will be disappointed, but those hankering for an old-school Italian broodfest will find plenty to soak in.
It's not the tale, but the telling of it, that distinguishes this Sicilian drama.
Salvo is a strange, involving, if flawed movie about the Sicilian mafia; a stylised drama with elements of the supernatural and the sentimental amid the tension.
Hits the heights in its first forty minutes ... Later developments prove disappointingly predictable.
With Salvo, the first-time Italian writer-directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza have created a Mafia thriller that takes a surprising turn from business into salvation and miracle.
Very stylish Sicilian mafia movie. One part Antonioni and one part Calvin Klein commercial.
In the end, it's Salvo itself that's murky and obscure.
This inventiveness extends to the way the directors frame violence.
Set during a Palermo heatwave, the film opens with a truly scorching action scene... The drama that subsequently unfolds, however, substitutes slow-burning tension for shock.
Exquisitely crafted if somewhat academic - an "ambient thriller", if there's such a thing.
Salvo is nicely put together, and told for the most part without recourse to words. But under the Sicilian swagger, there's not much substance or character to cling to.
