This is a strange black and white movie that reminds of some French flicks with long indoor shots and diegetic sounds. The theme is mainly based on character study rather than an escape story. In my opinion, the sub-plot at the beginning of the movie could have continued a little more.
Tom Waits and John Lurie perform all right until the moment the legend (Roberto Benigni) jumps in. From that point on, they could not keep pace with Benigni. They could have added some more to portraying wannabe badasses. This is the main drawback of the movie. On the other hand, photography is nice. Don't raise your expectations so much but it is still a good watch due to Roberto Benigni.
