Telling the stories of the controversial riot cops unit, as seen from the inside, set against the background of several of the most shocking episodes of urban violence in contemporary Italian society. Meet Cobra (Pierfrancesco Favino), Nero (Filippo Nigro) and Mazinga (Marco Giallini), three “bastard riot cops” who, confronting violence on a daily basis, have learned to be targets.
In controversial and much talked about A.C.A.B. we follow an Italian riot cops unit in their daily lives. The film is inspired by the book ACAB by Carlo Bonini which tells a true story. It’s an inside look at a fascinating and brutal world. In the same vein as box-office hits Tropa de Elite and Gomorrah.
