The thriller review with Alessandro Gassman
On the lines of some recent American Revenge Movies – Like the adrenaline franchise Taken starring Liam Neeson – the concept behind My name is revenge it is rather linear and easy to intuition. Screenage by the director Cosimo Gomez and the writer Sandrone Dazieri, the film, while speaking of organized crime does not look at local models, but to Tradition of the American style “one against all” style. So A hard film without frills Where the action is at the center of everything, between shootings, fistfights and scenes of violence of various kinds.
However, the surrender does not fully convince, especially inthe most adrenaline scenes andthe final. The complex psychology of the character of Sofia is not adequately in -depth: a partially save the result The excellent test of the young Geneva Francesconi but above all by Alessandro Gassmann, dry and credible In interpreting a man forced to deal with a violent past.
