Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

David Salas I remember seeing Danny Aiello in an interview, he was so proud when he said "I never had an acting lesson!! ",I thought no kidding Sherlock that's obvious and not something to boast when you suck. Can you imagine a musician saying i never had a teacher or practice I just play?

possumopossum Based on Mario "Godfather" Puzo's novel, this is another great story about how the Mafia plans and executes their nefarious activities. For once, Kirstie Alley is not typecast as a neurotic Lucille Ball type, although she is living in her own little world as the tragic Rosemarie Clarricuzio. In this movie, she gives notice that she is a very fine dramatic actress as well as a fine comedic actress. She gives a heart-breaking performance as Rosemarie. There are many parallels between this movie and THE GODFATHER. Cross is the Michael Corleone character and the Don...well, need I say more? Even as recycled GODFATHER, it isn't bad at all. 9 out of 10.RIP Mario Puzo.

Twilight_Wraith As a fan of The Godfather movies, it was inevitable that I would have to view The Last Don someday. I must be honest I actually thought it was pretty compelling. Don't get me wrong, this isn't the Godfather. But however it is in my opinion much better than Godfather Part III. Which I guess is not saying much but there you have it. I am a big fan of Joe Mantegna which probably makes me somewhat biased. Danny Aiello makes a great Don. Jason Gedrick is at least very likeable in his role as Cross. It has some of the elements of the Godfather films, which helps it out a lot. Emotional things, entanglements, killings, trials, acquittals even though there were 300 witnesses to the murder. ;)It is somewhat gripping. And I must say I think it's worth buying on VHS if you want another Godfather story. I will say this again it's nowhere near as good as Godfather or Godfather part II, but it's very compelling and interesting as a look into a lifetime of a mafia family.

radesch1 I was a bit confused on who's son/daughter, was who's. That includes grand children. Maybe I'm getting old but I really had a hard time trying to figure out who belonged to whom. Probably because it was condensed from a long mini-series to a movie so one must take that into consideration and overlook it.But, that aside this movie was excellently done. The cast was well chosen and did a very good job. However, the performances of Aiello and Mantegna were OUTSTANDING. I didn't realize, until this movie, just how good these two really were.This movie is definetly on the par with Godfather and Goodfellows for substance and character.If you want to see realistically how the mob worked and haven't see the aforementioned movies this one is a must.Worth renting, buying and seeing again several times.
