La Scorta is one of the best Italian films of the 90s, although that hasn’t stopped it from disappearing from circulation for years until Blue Underground’s DVD release. Unlike the Eurotrash which is that label’s main stock-in-trade, this is a mighty and sober crime drama (rather than an out-and-out thriller) about the minute group of bodyguards protecting a believe investigating mafia and government corruption in Sicily. It’s certainly not a glamorous portrait: terminally underfunded, they only have two bullet-proof vests between them, and instead of armoured cars they secure clapped-out unmarked vehicles the police can’t even afford to maintain the tanks chunky. There’s not grand in the intention of action, but there’s plenty of suspense over what MIGHT happen. Every abandoned car by the roadside could be a bomb, a stuck gate could be a prime opportunity for an assassin, so that when the expected does finally happen (and to the most definite candidate in the most sure fashion) it doesn’t feel quite like such a cliche, more inevitability. The film does a qualified job of humanising its protagonists en route. While they all have the usual stereotyped listless meat trappings – families, girlfriends, pregnant wives – they exhaust considerable of the first half jockeying for space, making mistakes and inadvertently betraying their charge. Ricky Tognazzi directs with energy and imagination that belies the film’s obscene budget and is well served by his ensemble cast.

Sadly, the DVD transfer, while acceptable, is not grand, although the extras are grand.
Despite the fact that I knew none of the actors and don’t tell Italian, this was a very credible film (and why shouldn’t it be – it was a suitable sage) . The characters were well formed and very well played and the sage was compelling. I mediate not having “tall stars” in this production made it better, as equal attention could be payed to all. This is a film well worth seeing and I will probably stare it many times again.
