影評：
• 亞歷山卓切利新片《荒城戰役》裡塵土飛揚的工業世界，有一點《孤雛淚》和《銀翼殺手》的味道，由馬特歐羅韋雷擔任製片–（浮華世界）
• 《荒城戰役》完美融合後世界末日與賽博龐克原型，製片馬特歐羅韋雷持續在義大利電影中重新注入新的能量。– （My Movies）
• 本片有著豐富動作場面和戲劇效果，外加生態環境背景、友誼、忠誠和背叛等許多精心設計的敘事元素。在《荒城戰役》，一切都有待發現，也值得被愛。（每日事實報）
其他
• 亞歷山卓切利的首部作品攝於塔蘭托，片中呈現的是虛構版本，不但破敗且污染嚴重。這是一部反烏托邦但有趣的電影，反思現在也警示未來。
• 「亞歷山卓切利放手讓年輕演員發揮，電影呈現出輕鬆的自然主義魅力。」（珍妮特卡蘇利斯，紐約時報）
Synopsis
The Lord of the Flies-style tale, set on Italy’s southern coast in a near future, follows best friends Pietro and Cristian (Dennis Protopapa and Giuliano Soprano) who hope to escape the city of Taranto, which has become a toxic wasteland, surrounded by barbed wire and ruled over by warring gangs.
Things seem to be looking up when Pietro is recruited by a local boss, Testacalda (Alessandro Borghi), leader of the fearsome gang The Ants, who rechristens them with the demeaning monikers Mondocane (Dogworld) and Pisciasotto (bed-wetter). But as the situation becomes increasingly violent, and with a girl threatening to come between them, the two boys have to see if their friendship is strong enough to survive.

Reviews
• There is a bit of Oliver Twist and a bit of Blade Runner in the dusty and industrial world of Mondocane, the new film by Alessandro Celli, produced by Matteo Roveere’s Greenland – Vanity Fair
• A solid mix between the tones of the post-apocalyptic and those of the proto-cyberpunk, Mondocone marks the continuation of the mission with which Matteo Rovere – here as a Producer - has set out to re-inject the energy of gender in Italian cinema. – My Movies
• An admirable result, generous with action, drama, eco-environmental backdrop, friendly loyalties, betrayals and many other well-crafted narrative bastions. Everything is to be discovered, everything is to be loved in this Mondocane. – Il Fatto Quatidiano
Others
• Shot in a run-down and toxic version of Taranto, Alessandro Celli’s debut is a dystopic but fun film which light-heartedly reflects upon the present while warning us about the future.
• "When Celli relaxes enough to trust his young leads the movie charms with an effortless naturalism." Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times
