No pun intended - I don't know if this is based on anything true, but life can be stranger than fiction, so there is that. Obviously crime can pay - but in the long run it mostly goes south (not a geographical pun, this being Italian and all that) in real life ... of course this is a movie, so it could end up in a different direction.
I won't take anything away when it comes to that, but I can tell you it does have some interesting ideas and the characters .. well they are just that: quite the characters ... funny, sad but colorful for sure. Take one of the ones who gets visited at the end of the movie ... in his bathrobe ... this looks funny and feels funny ... but you get a feeling that there is something sinister that might happen ... will it though? You'll see ... suspension of disbelief is necessary.
