Powerful

Just what I expected

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Blistering performances.

Rreally liked this show,no, it's not the Sapranos,it's not the Godfather,it happens to be a "semi-fictional account" of life inside the mob as told by an FBI agent who actually lived his life with these people,.of course he could not put everything in with the time cbs gave him, but I think Mr. Pistone did a fantastic job considering I've only heard the other side of the story, but have seen nothing like this! The truth may not be stronger than fiction,but with the time limit he had to deal with, I think Pistone did a great job, the actors were too pretty,"but that only helped" I suggest you read the book, if you've seen the series, before you review this show,you may just want to take a second look!!!!

I've seen Falcone. I thought that the actors did a very good job presenting the characters. I looked forward to the next evening and what would be on it next. I hope they make it a series, since we truly do not know if Joe continued on the case. The actors made me feel as if I was part of the scene. I intend to purchase Falcone when and if it comes on video. It was a typical mob story but with a twist. One of the best mob stories as far as written, produced, directed, etc that I have seen.

I love this series. It's like The Sopranos but given more of a street feeling, rather than a urban. They couldn't have picked a better person than Jason Gedrick to play Joe Falcone. All the actors do such a good job of pulling you into the plot. I can't wait until each night when they show the next episode. The plot is very convincing and after each episode they leave you on the edge of your seat wanting to see what will happen next. Altogether, this series is a smart look into what a mafia captain, Sonny Boy, will do to get on top, and what a FBI agent, Joe Pistone, will do to protect his family while still risking his life to do his job.

Trying to hard and mis-casted come to mind here. There isn't a wise guy in the bunch. No one in the cast is truly comfortable in the skin of a wise guy. They all come off like wanna-be types or like how you'd expect a cop might act trying to infiltrate the mob. The dialogue is snippets from "Good Fellas" and "The Sopranos".
