I am Italian, and I am always happy when I see one of our products well made and this "The Beast" is a well made product, it certainly takes its cue from "taken" with Liam Neeson, but it is not a defect, indeed, it is an advantage. The cast is great, the action scenes are very well shot and the violence is raw and real.
It is not a masterpiece of course, but it certainly deserves a higher rating, but unfortunately the kids of today are drooling for filth like the various idiotic cinecomics of marvel, the three hundredth sequel to that fast & furious trash and various crap.
