Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

M0rphin The characters were fakes, and the story needed some fresh cold water in the face. The movie is just like the comment Rob Johal made, something like "An insult to all Italians everywhere" or something. That guy is hilarious, and fake, just like the movie. "It's an insult to all Italians", "they need real Italians", he screams. Then again, his name is Rob Johal and he is from Canada, and he spells Joe Pesci "Joe Pechsi". The guy is as Italian as the characters he is criticizing, he probably thinks is some kind of mobster or something. That's the exact problem of the movie: the director, the actors and the writer were probably as genuine as our friend here. Like Italians, like movie.

Are-Jay The story is good as is the plot and action. But the actors and actresses are a joke. This movie tries to rival the Godfather, but fails miserably. First of all, Jason Gedrick (a great actor) plays a lousy mobster. He is too soft and frail looking for a mafia tough guy. The characters of Claudia, Georgio, and the undercover FBI female cop --- were all played by lousy actors and actresses. They need real Italians like - Joe Pecshi, Al Pacino, Paul Sorvino, Alyssia Milano, Tony Danza, or others. This movie may have been made for TV, but any solid Italians would laugh at this movie as it doesn't portray alot of Italian culture in it. Italian Culture is important for mob movies. I don't remember any of the characters speaking alot of Italian in the movie. And the character who played Claudia's unfaithful husband--- OH Please! What a loser! As if a Mafia girl would ever get involvoed with a fruitcake loser like that. But Kirsty Alley did a great job acting in the movie. Probably the best person in the movie.

rps-2 I don't understand our fascination with the underworld (viz. the immense success of "The Sopranos.") but I share it. Perhaps it's like our fascination of the Nazis, an intriguing mix of elegance and evil, "The Last Don" is an obvious clone of the Godfather, including its score and the dark, warm toned cinematography. But that is not to say it isn't an excellent piece of work and a gripping story. There is graphic sex and blood spattered rat-a-tat-tat violence. But, unlike the Sopranos, the language is restrained. Interesting that women voters of all ages on IMDb gave it a unanimous ten. Do they enjoy the blood? Or perhaps their secret fantasy is bedding a Catholic priest. The film was shot in and around Toronto. The city once more demonstrates its remarkable diversity. But is it too much to hope that someday Toronto might play itself rather than stand in for New York. You probably could do a pretty good film about the Toronto mob!

patate-2 Very unlikely. Younger generation of mobsters kill everyone, just as The Godfather series has made us expect if it wasn't the cast is not credible, acting is one-dimension, sets are not credible. Yawn. I wished everyone who think this was good could see the Omerta tv series which was way beyond this.
