- Reviews
- Richard Ouzounian. Variety (May 28 2008). Ouzounian begins his account - ‘We’re somewhere in modern Italy, and the gangs (each a mix of black and white) fight with feet, knives, revolvers and Uzis. After one splatter of gunfire nearly kills a baby whose mother is lounging at a cafe table, even the Lolita-esque waitresses put down their iPods long enough to pay attention’.
