Entertainment Reviews:
Ultimately, La Scorta is a tight, competent but rather inconsequential thriller. It's diverting, but thin.

La Scorta reduces Italian politics to a human and easily grasped level.

Austin Chronicle
Rating: 3/4 --
Though not particularly deep or original, La Scorta displays intimate scale, taut narrative, and recognizably human characters; considering that it deals with crime, there's little violence on screen.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Exciting as La Scorta might be, it is at heart a conventional thriller that breaks no new genre ground.

La Scorta suffers from an anemic plot pulse.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Sicily, 1992: When a high-profile judge and his bodyguard are brutally murdered, four reluctant young cops are assigned as ‘La Scorta’ – Italian for ‘the escorts’ – to protect the replacement prosecutor from Mafia assassins. But in a country where high level corruption and sudden violence are a way of life, the squad quickly find themselves outnumbered, outgunned and desperately out of time. Even if they can survive the daily threat of car bombs and ambushes, will personal conflicts and backroom betrayals blow apart the nation’s most unlikely team of heroes?Claudio Amendola (in his breakout performance) and Enrico Lo Verso star in this white-knuckle thriller from writer/director Ricky Tognazzi featuring a pounding score by Ennio Morricone and based on a true story of uncommon courage.
