In 2001 on the last day of the G8 summit in Genoa just before midnight more than 300 police officers stormed the Diaz school looking for black bloc demonstrators. Inside the school were 90 activists mostly students from around Europe along with a handful of foreign journalists preparing to bunk down for the night on the school's floors. As the police burst in the young demonstrators raised their hands to surrender. Undeterred and unmoved the officers unleashed a calculated frenzy of violence beating both young and old male and female indiscriminately. Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood reconstructs the events of those terrible days from the viewpoints of the police the protesters the victims and the journalists who were caught up in the tragedy to analyse how frustration can explode into raw uncontrollable violence. Vicari's visceral dynamic filmmaking drops the viewer into the dark heart of politics and reminds you through the inclusion of original footage taken at the scene that this may be a movie but it is not fiction.

This 1997 thriller For Hire ponders the question of what terrible things a person might be persuaded to do, given the right circumstances and the right price. Rob Lowe plays Mitch, a Chicago cab driver trying to make it as an actor, married to the pregnant Faye. Among his clients are bestselling writer Lou Weber (Joe Mantegna), who befriends Mitch and confides in him that a drug dealer is trying to kill him. Over the next few days, Mitch begins to suffer severe stomach pains, collapsing in Weber's apartment after a fare and is diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer. With only a short time to live, he decides to take up Weber's offer to rub out his drug dealer stalker for $50,000, a nest egg for his family after he's gone. A not entirely unpredictable twist follows, hinted at by the Lucifer-like beard sported by Mantegna and the film alights only briefly to meditate on the potential for evil in all of us before resuming its journey along conventional, though certainly passable Hollywood thriller lines. An intriguing precept--it's just a slight shame that neither the players nor director's hearts seem really to be in this movie. On the DVD: Features a trailer. --David Stubbs
