The life, the crimes, the arrests and the prison break of Renato Vallanzasca (Kim Rossi Stuart) and his group is a cinematic story that also gives a broader picture of Italy's recent history. Milan, the seventies. The underworld is dominated by the unchallenged power of Francis Turatello (Francesco Scianna), nicknamed "Faccia d'angelo" (Angel Face) when Vallanzasca's gang arrive on the scene. Having begun his criminal career at an early age, he is now the leader of a gang made up of his childhood friends, drug addicts and juvenile delinquents who have progressed from robbery to one murder after another. The cash flows and the gang throw themselves into high life. Renato, in the meantime, has met Consuelo, a beautiful and self-assured girl from the south who finds herself with him at the time of his first arrest through to his prison break from San Vittore four and a half years later. But Vallanzasca's outlaw days are coming to an end: the killing of two policemen in the tollbooth at Dalmine changes the destiny of the crime boss who is arrested shortly afterwards. His prison sentence at Rebibbia offers him the chance to clear things up with his sworn enemy Turatello. The following years are punctuated by transfers from one prison to another, by trials and by daring escapes. During a transfer to another prison by ferry he escapes and runs to Antonella (Paz Vega), a childhood friend who has stayed close to him all his life. But once more Vallanzasca's life as a fugitive starts again but he is not the cantankerous youth of yesteryear.

| CineVueMargherita PellegrinoEmotional, intense and truly shocking at times, the movie presents the known facts on a golden plate for the audience to make up their own mind. It's violent, raw, vibrating with tension and punctuated with clever irony. |
| Radio TimesDamon WiseRising Italian star Kim Rossi Stuart is the standout in this fast-paced biography of Milanese gangster Renato Vallanzasca, who fancied himself as something of a Robin Hood figure in the mid-1970s. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersNot to indulge in cliché, but given that Rossi Stuart penned the script with five other writers, it probably shouldn't be a surprise that so many cooks created a meal that's all sauce and no spaghetti. |
| Film4Sophie IvanUnlikely to reshape the canon but an entertaining enough retro Italian gangster romp. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThere are a few too many characters to keep straight, and some irrelevant sideroads, but it's a gripping ride |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerEngaging, energetic gangster thriller-slash-biopic with a charismatic central performance from Kim Rossi Stuart, though the pacy direction means that the film is often frustratingly light on context and detail. |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsTerrible orch-rock soundtrack aside, it makes for an engrossing if hollow romp. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonA slick, enthralling look at the life of Vallanzasca but fails to truly get under his skin. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinThe opening act in particular - with its gunfights, bank heists, sex, parties and grimly violent cutaways to Vallanzasca in prison - is punchier than Mr Punch using a hole punch to punch a punch bowl. |
| Total FilmTom DawsonChronicles the rise and fall of Renato Vallanzasca, a notorious Milanese gangster in the '70s and '80s who's serving several life sentences. |
