* TooDumbToLive: Marco and Ciro, two teenage hoodlums that have been running out of control in the local Camorra clan's territory, despite warnings from the mob boss to behave themselves or die. They ignore this warning, stealing a cache of weapons hidden by the Camorra. Guess what happens to them.
