Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

A Disappointing Continuation

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A good altought not exceptional gangster movie, ( Goodfellas is still the best one to me ). Danny Aiello and Rory Cochrane characters are great on this movie. However I think that Kirstie Alley should look for comedy movies because I think that this type of film is not exactly what shes skilled for. I think they should have added a bit more of sadistic/cruel violence which is a indispensable *sauce* to movies like this ( check out Goodfellas and Casino to know what I am talking about ). Not really a classic, But still reccomendable if you like Mafia movies. as far as I know this one was exhibited as a TV serie in United States, but I think I have never seen this movie on TV.

Good for a mobster TV film but the version I saw from blockbuster was rated R as it had a good amount of nudity. Danny Aiello was great as the mobster father and Joe Mantenga was good as usual as the head hitman. But the underrated actor Jason Gedrick was phenominal as the man who wants to leave the life of the mob behind him. And god is he gorgeous!! Kirstie Aley plays a crazy woman very well again. A lot better than the sequal.*** out of *****

Well, both me and my friend just finished reading the book. We rented the movie and watched it. The book was so much better. They left out many characters, didn't build characters up enough, and left a huge part of hollywood out. If you like mafia movies, this is a good one to see. Not to the caliber of Godfather or Goodfellas though. I suggest reading the book over watching the movie.

About the most boring movie ever made on the subject. The book was good, but wasn't transferred into a movie that would have held one's interest. Maybe it was the use of the Don himself as a narrator, maybe the flat performance of Danny Aiello, maybe the fact that none of the characters came out with any depth...whatever "it" was, it resulted in an uninteresting movie.
