The story
Pietro Zinni is asked by the police to revive the old gang to create a task force that will stop the spread of smart drugs.
What it’s like
Bright, sun-warmed Roman interiors and cramped university-town flats, shot with brisk, mobile camera work that lets the ensemble's bickering spill across the frame, while the score leans on jaunty, retro-flavoured pop cues that keep the pace snappy. The overall vibe is wry, scrappy and affectionate, a caper comedy with a grin rather than a sneer, best suited to a lively night in with friends or a relaxed weekend watch. Its tone is playful and quick-witted, with the comedy built on fast back-and-forth dialogue and the sight of brainy misfits improvising their way through absurd situations. Its people are a squabbling band of former lab rats slowly rediscovering loyalty and each other, and the arc is one of reluctant reunion. Intensity is low: there is some drug content and peril-tinged chase energy, but violence is brief and mostly slapstick, with no gore and little that is frightening. It suits viewers who want a witty, buoyant crime comedy with warmth and a light touch, rather than grit or menace.
