ALEX THE ARIES (Alex l'Ariete) (2000) - ♦

Directed by - Damiano Damiani

Written by - Dardano Sacchetti

Starring - Alberto Tomba

"Italian cinema tried to follow up on the universal tradition of turning sportsmen heros into idols of the big screen when Alberto Tomba was given the role of a lifetime in a Damiano Damiani directed action film called Alex the Aries. But already after sneak screenings, the film was met with general awkwardness and embarrassment. Indeed, it's quite a laughable film in every way, and poor Tomba if far from being the Italian Vinnie Jones in any way."
