Third World production with amateurish plot holes.

Wow. Where to begin? As far as third world films are concerned, this one was pretty good, however there were still quite a few plot holes worth mentioning. For example:

1. The kid says he wants to be a secessionist but secede from what exactly? DUH!
2. The poor kids find a stash of guns and go on a rampage. But where did they get the money to buy bullets? DUH!
3. Furthermore, where did they carry the bullets - in their underwear? Double DUH!
4. The kid's mother said she had lots of trouble with the kid's father but we never get to meet the father and hear his side of the story. DUH!
5. The kids rob a billiards hall with their pistols but then get scared and start crying when the prostitutes refuse to do their job? DUH!
6. The gangsters shoot little kids wearing only baseball chest protectors and the kids get up and walk away? DUH!
7. The bagman puts on his own baseball chest protector because he thinks it will offer the same protection as that afforded to the kids and nobody will notice it? DUH!
8. The drug dealers peddle their goods in the wide open without ever getting caught? DUH!
9. The Italian tailor hides in the trunk of a car because people are shooting at him and he doesn't suffocate? DUH!
10. The Italians say they are at war and yet there are no uniforms, aircraft, APC's, RPG's or anything like that? DUH!

Sure there were plenty of plot holes but as far as third world movies go, this one rates a very solid C-.

Is this a joke or are you just a moron? I can't tell. If you're being serious, I feel sorry for you.

Italy is not a third world country by the way.

Second that. If that's not a joke - than man, you've got some serious problems with IQ.

...none of those are plot holes. Maybe the first one, but that's just because you probably don't know much about italy's sociopolitical make up.

2. waste solving
3. pay check

the kid wants to secede from the group he is with and go to another family!

jeesh, pay attention.

all of this is based on fact so, they can't be plot holes.

Everyone settle down. Its obviously a troll. #10 gives it away (and is pretty funny).

Delusions of grandeur are typical in schizophrenia, where a patient may well truly believe that they are actually the leader of a country, or someone of great importance. Hey americaloveswar. Does this sound familiar to you in any way?

Thank you Ravi. I too enjoy using the word DUH for expressive purposes to highlight my enthusiasm. As John Lennon said, "All you need is money and love". Thanks again Ravi. I enjoyed your post.
