It's probably one of my favourite Thrillers of all time now due it's complex and excellent storytelling and top notch performances

They say, that in film the audience is willing grant suspension of disbelief. But this shit was so unrealistic & unbelievable that there's no way I could grant suspension of disbelief. BAD CASTING.

The plot is quite interesting as it shows all the intricacies of modern day crime in a city like Rome, where thugs, old style criminality and politics all come together and fight to get a slice of the pie. The main characters are shaped very nicely, I like both Aureliano and Spadino as well as Samurai, the main antagonist of the series. Good acting from the cast, all of them do decent a decent job. I still have mixed feelings vs season 3; I think it's not at the height of the previous two and it feels like it was hastily put together to hit the release of the season. Nice soundtrack as well as the aerial view of Rome throughout the series.

I was excited to watch this movie based upon the rather good Netflix series but was deeply disappointed! The story does not go anywhere and murdering, hardcore gangsters travel around Rome with NO bodyguards allowing any Giancarlo, Giuseppe, or Sofia to kill them as they leave their mum's front door! If you can suspend realism and do not mind the slow, meandering pace it gets a 6/10! The reviews on this Website are so over complimentary I wonder if these people saw the same film or wouldn't know a good movie from a box of nails.

Un ritratto della malavita romana e dei suoi tentacoli; potente, graffiante e crudo. Favino, Borghi, Germano, tutti splendidi e completamente credibili. Colonna sonora semplicemente meravigliosa e ottima fotografia. Uno dei migliori film italiani degli ultimi anni a mio avviso, e ingiustamente a secco di premi.

Sollima pulls this together into a slick, polished whole, marked by an energy and focus that allows him to travel through Suburra's various intersecting threads of exploitation, dominance and moral train-wrecks.

Times (UK)

Suburra is a sprawling Italian crime drama with genuinely epic ambitions.

Irish Times

A sprawl of beautifully cast characters -- a weasly pimp (Germano) here, a junkie moll (Scarano) there -- and their many intersections are deftly juggled, thanks to Patrizio Morane's darting cuts.

Rated: 3/5

South China Morning Post

Suburra is a big picture that never loses track of the small details, and these bring the characters, and the realistic action sequences, to life.

Sollima interweaves gangsters, pimps, junkies and scary dogs with pungent echoes of venal Ancient Rome.
