Alex l'ariete

One of the finest Italian movies ever made. It reminds masterpieces such as La dolce vita by federico fellini and il sorpasso by dino risi.

At first it seems a road movie, but later on you realize that is something more. It shows the true romance compared to the innermost violence of men. Remarkable is also the perfect soundtrack, fitting perfectly the emotions of our protagonist; Alberto Tomba and Michelle Hunziker

Probably somebody heard of Alberto Tomba. A former policeman, a former sky champion, and, now, a TERRIBLE actor. "Alex L'Ariete" was planned to be a TV "mini serial", but the Italian television itself refused to show the movie on its channels. Now it's a, believe me, ridiculous movie. The script it's simply hilarious (it's supposed to be a dramatic movie), something like a 5 years old kid work. But what really blows you away it's the amateurish acting: Alberto Tomba, who actually was not believable as a policeman himself, plays terribly a totally silly character: a special operations italian policeman specialized in smashing doors open! ("ariete" is "ram"). This super-guy will try to save a young nice girl life (an actual italian "little" TV showgirl, married to the singer Eros Ramazzotti): nice but absolutely inept in the acting. Lose this one and make yourself a favour. A movie that is a shame to Italian cinema industry: only John Travolta in Earth Attack got close..

This film is so bad that it has become a cult in Italy. You just need to remember that to fully appreciate it you need to watch it with many friends, and most important NOT in a sober state. Remarkable are the baby stroller scene, the desperation in Alessandro when his friend dies, and the bar scene.

It's truly a masterpiece. There's even a character acted by Orso Maria Guerrini, the famous testimonial of an Italian beer. The movie has been seen in theaters by ONLY 597 PEOPLE, but it has become a must-have in every home collection.

If you want to really surprise your friend with an unexpected movie choice, you now know what you have to do. You just need to search this movie NOW because it's not easy to find anywhere. I really dunno why.

I knew this is a bad one but every now and then I like watching a bad movie because sometimes they are funny but... this one is beyond any imagination. It's not even funny. I watched the whole movie, once and never again, but my eyes were in pain.

This movie was exactly what I expected it to be when i first read the casting. I probably could have written a more exciting plot, it's a pity that they left it to a pack of Howler Monkeys. Alberto Tomba was surely a good skier but he has to thank God (and we too) that he does not have to rely on his actor skills to earn his living. He can't play, he can't talk, he can't even move very good on mainland without his skis... Michelle Hunziker is a pretty blonde girl, and that's all. She obviously wasn't chosen for her astounding competence in dramatic roles but most probably for her nice legs. Nevertheless I must admit that she could be the Tomba's acting teacher, because he's even a worse actor than her, and that's funny, especially considering that she isn't italian. I laughed all the time, watching this movie. I found it so ridiculous and meaningless that it actually made me laugh, loud, very loud.
