"La Scorta" is a very good film, it's intense, sad, and depressing. The acting is brilliant, especially Enrico Lo Verso (who also did a great job in e.g. "Il Ladro di Bambini"). The pace of the film is perfect, the mafia only plays a minor part and the music (by the genius Ennio Morricone) adds even more to this film. (7/10)
