Uno Bianca (2001)

Member Rating:

Dellamorte, Dellamore director Michele Soavi steps back behind the camera to helm this violent, made-for-television Italian crime drama based on Marco Melega's bestselling book and scripted for the screen by cult icon Luigi Montefiori (aka George Eastman). A professional gang of criminals have been carrying out a series of precision robberies along the Rimini Coast and, no matter how hard they try to catch up, police detectives Valerio Kim Rossi Stuart and Rocco Dino Abbrescia always seem to be one pace behind the crafty criminals. Their only clue as to the identity of the perpetrators being the white Fiat Uno consistently used as a getaway car, the detectives are prompted to step-up their investigation when, in a fierce exchange of gunfire with the criminals, a superior officer is killed in the line of duty. Now forced to take the law into their own hands to ensure that no more innocent lives are lost, detectives Valerio and Rocco receive an unexpected surprise when the shocking identities of the trigger-happy thieves are finally revealed to be the very people they least expected. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Riveting stuff and, for my money, one of the DVD "finds" of the year, UNO BIANCA is one of the best of its genre that I've seen. Made for Italian television, it dwarfs most of our attempts, managing to be thrilling, suspenseful, extremely frightening (due to the growing tension as you suspect--then learn--the identity of the perpetrators) & consistently involving. While the levels & management of the Italian justice system are quite different from our own, no one should have trouble following what happens--and why. The cast is fine, too. Italian looker Kim Rossi Stuart shows his acting chops better here than in the French TV version of Stendhal's "The Red & The Black," and very nearly as well as he does in Gianni Amelio's brilliant "The Keys to the House." The supporting cast, mostly unknown to me, acquits itself well, and the taut direction is by Michele Soave (probably best know for his grizzly/funny "Cemetary Man"). The two-disc set totals nearly 3½ hours--without a wasted minute.

Totally agree with the previous review. What a find this was, took me by surprise. Not so violent compared to French, American and Asian counterparts. Kim Rossi Stuart is wonderful (as he was in the 5 star movie Keys to the House). Very interesting to see the differences in how various countries present the same set of circumstances: criminals, corrupt police in high positions, inept police in high positions, passion of the cop who is devoted to the job, the bonds between two cop partners, etc. Far less tech here and it was a welcome relief. Really enjoyed this!
