Short description

Franco Amore is an Italian police lieutenant on the eve of his retirement after thirty-five years on the force. A conscientious officer who prides himself on never having fired his weapon, he is called out on his final night to a crime scene where his closest friend and longtime partner, Dino, has been killed during a diamond robbery. It emerges that Franco himself was entangled in the scheme behind the robbery, and he faces choices that put at risk his career, his marriage to Viviana and his own life on the streets of Milan.

Andrea Di Stefano wrote and directed the film, his third feature after Escobar: Paradise Lost (2014) and The Informer (2019). Pierfrancesco Favino leads as Franco, with Francesco Di Leva as Dino and Linda Caridi as Viviana. The supporting cast includes Antonio Gerardi, Katia Mironova and Camilla Semino Favro. Produced by MeMo Films with Indiana Production, Vision Distribution and Adler Entertainment, the film had a budget of about 10 million dollars and has earned roughly 4 million dollars worldwide.

On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.1 out of 10 from around 6,400 votes, and on TMDB it has 7.1 out of 10 from some 555 votes. A critics' score of 6.8 out of 10 from seven reviews places it somewhat below the audience ratings, though both sit in similar territory.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was shot on a real highway, with cars actually speeding by the actor at nearly 100 km/h. No computer graphics were used, and the footage was shot with a handheld camera. It wasn’t easy, as after each take some cars had to be moved back to their original positions while other cars continued to drive by. According to director and screenwriter Andrea Di Stefano, who filmed the thriller "Three Seconds" in the US in 2019, filming all of this in the US would have been difficult due to the high cost of location shooting, overall production costs, and insurance expenses.
  • Before starting to write the script, Andrea Di Stefano repeatedly spoke with officers from the organized crime unit, who shared their own views on the criminal world of Milan.
  • The film's crew placed advertisements in Chinese and Chinese-Italian newspapers in Milan to recruit extras. Many people responded to the call.
