Better Late Then Never
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreIt is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
... View More"Falcone" definitely is the best new show of the season! We get to see different sides of the main characters which make them more believable and realistic. Jason Gedrick is surprisingly wonderful as Falcone/Pistone. He's handsome without being "perfect". Titus W. is deliciously evil while still flashing a soft side once in a while. It's a shame Lucky is gone but maybe he will continue to haunt Sonny. Hopefully, CBS will be smart and bring this show back in the fall. I like the clothes. I like "the" car/SUV. I want to know if Falcone/Pistone ever brings down the Volante family while keeping his marriage together. I'm giddy with excitement to see if this fantastic show returns!
... View MoreA great show about FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone, based on the Donnie Brasco story but much better than the movie. All I can say about this show is that it was one of the most underrated series ever. CBS would be crazy to dump it! The storylines were captivating, the acting was intense and fabulous, and the characters had a depth of complexity that you rarely come across on network television. If they ever re-air this show I highly recommend it to everyone!
... View MoreI have seen the Sopranos and other mob-esque shows, but this show is first-class. The show is based on facts and uses emotionally charged characters, interesting plot, fluid dialog, and outstanding cinematography. I hope that it will be turned into a series. For those of you that didn't see it, you missed out.
... View MoreFalcone is funny, ( these guys kidnap an $18,500 dog and get stuck with it ), and interesting. But as much as I enjoy watching it, it just just doesn't measure up the late 80's early 90's tv series Wiseguy. Is it coincidence that that bad guy Falcone works for is named Sonny?The main problem here is that the writer's miss every chance for sustaining suspense. The show builds to tense moments then lets them go so quickly we feel cheated. And yet opportunities for suspense abound. Falcone's wife's Maggie--perhaps the best actor in this series--adds a lot of potential for threat. But the writer's seem to back off. Ever hear of drama guys? (When you get the good guy in a bad situation you figure out how to make it worse.) The FBI staff behind Falcone is a joke. In Wiseguy the staff's ruthlessness caused problems. In this show the only FBI guy who causes problems is a complete idiot. The rest of them act as if they are on Eight is Enough. Falcone is worth watching. But if you really want to see how a mob infiltration show should be done, watch reruns of Wiseguy.
