Enzo, a petty thief and con artist, lives in Rome and makes a living through illegal activities. Fleeing from the police after a robbery, Enzo hides on an old barge on the Tiber River, beneath which barrels of chemicals were stored. After swallowing some of that nasty stuff, he crawls home barely alive, only to discover the next morning that he has incredible strength.

User Review

Here is a backstory you will not find in a comic book, but likely deserves one anyway.

A non-traditional director does a superhero film in Italy (believed to the first ever) and sets it against a backdrop of actual themes and events and social issues well known to those who live there.

Unlike Marvel and DC, who are fighting each other to the death in an insane crusade to monetize every last story, treatment, and dust bunny in their respective archives, director Mainetti took what he needed from the superhero mythology and threw the rest out.

The mere fact that this movie does not care about a sequel or a franchise or a merchandising spin off gives it instant points in my book.

When you look closely at it, and see solid writing, good performances, and even a "tragic romance" as good as anything from a daytime soap, you realize that we have something very special here.

Recommended.
