Mum’s Recipe

A riveting crime thriller with a comical twist as a hitman spices up his assignment.
5/5

Review

Dario Piana’s crime thriller, a comically twisted tale of a hitman’s assignment, unfolds with wit and intensity as Giulio Berruti leads a stellar cast in the role of Mico, a hired assassin whose dalliance with hot chillies turns a routine assignment into a hillarious escapade. Co-starring Andrea Bosca as a womanizer inadvertently caught in Mico’s web, the film seamlessly blends intense, dark thrills with a captivating comedic edge.

The fantastic performances, especially from Berruti, elevate the narrative, injecting humor into the otherwise gripping storyline. Piana’s skillful direction ensures a well-crafted film that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats while eliciting genuine laughs. The dynamic between the characters, particularly the hostage scenario involving Bosca, adds layers of complexity and amusement to the plot.

Cinematographer Stefano Morcaldo’s work is notable for its precise framing and capturing of the film’s tense, riveting, and often funny moments. The injection of humor into the crime thriller genre is a refreshing take, offering a unique viewing experience. English subtitles provide accessibility to non-Italian audiences, allowing them to fully appreciate the film’s nuances. Overall, Piana’s short film stands as a delightful blend of suspense, humor, and skilled storytelling, making it a memorable and entertaining cinematic experience.
