As with many great productions, there can be superlative writing, acting, score, cinematography, pace, tension and drama all working together to immerse a viewer in a visceral, emotive story such as 'Suburra'.
However, for some frustrating reason an unlikely deus ex machina is thrust into this plot at the final sequence-making one feel as if one has just entered a different film - a b-grade revenge action thriller.
The previous film up until the last five-ten minutes superb, it's strength lying in a sense that one is peeking beyond the veil of everyday pretence to a dark yet familiar underbelly.
Yet again cheap 3 act by-the-numbers themes of resolution, revenge by an ridiculous character ( possibly to please bloodthirsty feminists ), ending up cheapening and spoiling the whole piece. I'm glad not every director panders to frivolous political signaling because it's starting to ruin good stories. Go and watch the new ghostbusters or other trite.
