The opening credits of the second chapter of Diabolik bring to mind the universe of James Bond, the special agent who, in the late 1960s, the era in which the film is set, was the world’s most famous hero with a “licence to kill”. But for the Manetti Bros., Diabolik is an anti-hero who needs no official permission for his conduct.
Unlike the first film, where we see Diabolik through the eyes of Eva Kant, who gives him a more ‘human’ dimension, in Diabolik – Ginko all’attacco!, the perspective is that of his arch-enemy, Inspector Ginko.
The challenge between law and thief is no-holds-barred and, in order to win, both are willing to sacrifice what they hold most dear. Diabolik is a man of many dimensions and even more faces, faces that change constantly but finally reveal internationally renowned Italian actor, Giacomo Gianniotti, replacing Luca Marinelli for the role.
In addition to Miriam Leone, still in the role of Lady Kant, the cast features a surprise appearance from Monica Bellucci and Valerio Mastandrea, giving one of the best performances of his career as Ginko.
