Liberi Armati Pericolosi
Quite simply this is a youth movie. Is true that there isn't the
carefree oftwenties, but here we see a generation of bored young, where
boring lead to a real carneficine.
The thought of how this would be with today's youth, brings a
spontaneous smile, sad, well, a period that even with its strong
contrasts had some strong ideas. A time for people who dare in all
fields. In cinema and literature and among the many there is also
Giorgio Scerbanenco an italian writer that marked the "police" and
"noir" genre and inspired the world of cinema. From his book of short
stories "Milano Calibro 9" (specifically, from "I bravi ragazzi Bang
Bang") of 1969, comes the inspiration for this film made seven years
later, and written by none other than another "brazen": Fernando Di Leo.
We didn't find, however, the lord of "Milano Calibro 9" but
thewriter-director Romolo Guerrieri (boasting the screenplay of
"L'Allenatore nel Pallone") and several films of various kinds as well
as a relationship with Enzo G.Castellari, Ennio Girolami and of course
with his brother Marino Girolami.
With a treasure in hands, however, Guerrieri doesn't disappoint and he
is able to creates a taut movie that criticizes society and shows
action and violence. He could do more there is no doubt especially in
directing and could avoid long boring sermons.
"Liberi Armati Pericolosi" is an interesting movie that straddles
several genres: a little 'poliziottesco, a bit' and a little noir
'thriller. A film that stands out for the great performances of Tomas
Millian. The legendary Tomas plays the Commissioner, a man in one
piece, perhaps at the mercy of events, but very well structured. The
only drawback is that he is the "moral rectitude", too didactic,
and full of ideas that he said to
thr parents's of criminals in a very long and boring scene.
Parents. They are the real culprits. Guilty of giving children too much
freedom, too little education and many vices. All things that destroy
society.
Thus, these bored twenty somethings form of criminal gangs. Mario "Il
Biondo", the chief, Luis "The Mad", and Gio good by nature but fragile,
engaged to Lea. The three bored by life enjoy doing robberies, but when
escape the dead, after robbing in a gas station, the police are in hot
pursuit. Maybe a little 'too luckily, another exaggeration narrative
that does not work very well, they always manage to escape capture and
continue with the crimes.
This isn't an isolated case, indeed, there is another gang of young
people who enjoys doing the same things and is commanded by Lucio, a
young and unrecognizable Diego Abatantuono.
In the group can't miss a picture wise, the young Lea, played by a
lovely Eleonora Giorgi which, obviously, is also the "sexy" side of the
movie.
In addition to the star Eleonora Giorgi and Diego Abatantuono are also
Stefano Patrizi interpreter "Conversation Piece", "Cassandra Crossing"
and "Portrait in Black Bourgeoisie." Benjamin Lev and Max Delys
complete the banda of bored young criminals.
