Gomorran nimi viittaa Vanhan testamentin syntisten kaupunkiin sekä camorraan, Napolin järjestäytyneeseen rikollisuuteen. Lomittain etenevissä tarinoissa seurataan eri yhteiskuntaluokkien ja aivan erilaisten ihmisten elämää ja kuolemaa camorran hallitsemassa kaupungissa. Ikääntyvä mafian rivimies joutuu vaikeuksiin rutiininomaisilla rahankuljetusreissuillaan. Liikaa Scarfacea katsoneet teini-ikäiset ääliökaverukset löytävät asekätkön ja ryhtyvät sotaan isoja poikia vastaan. Velkaantunut räätäli livahtaa öisin töihin kilpailevan leirin ompelimoon, opettamaan laittomia kiinalaissiirtolaisia tekemään haute couturea. Bisnesmies järjestelee ongelmajätteen salaista dumppausta entiseen kaivokseen. Myrkky leviää, maaperä saastuu entisestään. (Cinema Mondo)

Made by creators with courage, Gomorrah is an authentically chilling work with great informational value. Rather than being a handicap, the deliberate coldness of the film and the distance from the characters is suitable for the world it depicts. What is a handicap, however, is the film’s unnecessary length. Select only the most important things, shorten it to 100 minutes and it could have been a hit!

Boring? Maybe for lovers of mafia fairy tales. If you like the raw and unadorned style and you are interested in modern Godfathers, then you can hope for a similar emotional impact to that which Gomorrah had on me. I'm not going full out only because the film is really too long and Garrone (no matter how great of a job he did!) just can’t keep up. In my opinion, Gomorrah is one of the most impressive films in recent months. But I highly recommend that you at least read about what you are going to see. There were quite a few stray souls who came to see the next The Departed in the movie theatre.

It doesn't make sense to view Gomorrah as an entertaining genre film about the Italian organized crime environment; in fact, it deliberately resigns from that notion and is more of a fictionalized documentary that analyzes the structure, manifestations, and impacts of mafia activities. Extortion, drug trafficking, smuggling, slave labor, manipulation of government contracts, or trade in toxic waste – the film shows it all firsthand and offers a perfect disillusionment about the mafia as some organization with charismatic personalities and a functioning code of honor. These are rather creatures that have emerged from the lowest social strata and have remained mentally at that level as well. The film doesn't have a cohesive plot; it's more of a series of images and stories about how organized crime replaces state structures and controls people's lives. As I mentioned, it doesn't make sense to expect entertainment like in The Godfather from it, but rather a raw look inside. By the way, the investigative journalist who wrote the book of the same name and moved incognito among this assembly in southern Italy is in a worse situation than Salman Rushdie was when the fatwa was declared against him. Overall impression: 90%.

This is a different movie than "The Godfather". It's not about how cool it is to be a gangster, how good it looks, and how epic it can be. This is a movie about how disgusting it is, how bloody it is, and how it can affect everyone, for different reasons. Well, actually, I'm glad I don't have to live in Italy. A well-made different perspective on the mafia.
