What happens

Alex l'ariete (Alex the ram) is a 2000 crime film directed by Damiano Damiani, starring former World cup alpine ski racer Alberto Tomba and Michelle Hunziker. Produced by Vittorio Cecchi Gori and Rita Rusić, the movie marks the debut of Alberto Tomba's acting career. However, Alex l'ariete was a box-office bomb and was panned by critics for its banal plot, approximate editing and Tomba's acting performance which many seen as involuntarily funny. Bad reviews and word of mouth prompted the film's producers to withdraw it from theaters after a few days. In Italy, during the years, Alex l'ariete gained a "so bad it's good" reputation and became a cult among the fans of the B-movies. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
