Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

camocorner-1 I have watched this movie and the sequel several times and find it to be a well written and delivered movie. I truly enjoy watching this film each and every time I take it off the shelf. Jason Gedrick does an outstanding job as Cross as well as all the other actors. I feel this movie has many in-depth characters and each actor/actress does an excellent job of delivering their part. Unlike most movies, the sequel does take you beyond the first movie and is not just a boring remake of the first. I hope plans for a third are in the making as I look forward to seeing it. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a fantastic movie.

negeati I am reviewing this movie without seeing previously "The Godfather" trilogy. I heard that they were all very good but for a made-for-TV drama, "The Last Don" is wonderful.Don Clericuzio (Danny Aiello) is the central character of the movie. Everyone around him gravitates around him somehow. He has several sons, and when the youngest of them is killed by a rival family, he vows revenge. He sees the opportunity of getting even when his only daughter, Rose Marie, falls in love with the youngest son of the rival don. He has Rose Marie's brand new husband taken from the marital bed (with Rose Marie helplessly watching) and killed. That was enough to make her lose her mind. Aided by her craziness, she will hate her father and her brothers all her life. And I will stop here because the plot is getting too complicated and it would take me a huge amount of time to write it down.The performances are as important as the stars. Danny Aiello is very effective in his portrayal of the Don. Jason Gedrick shows some genuine talent under that handsome face of his. But sincerely, Kirstie Alley, as the adult Rose Marie, steals the show. Though at times underused, when she is on the screen she overshadows all her co-stars. A lot of other famous people star in fantastic piece of work: Joe Mantegna (as the Don's executioner), Penelope Ann Miller (as Mantegna's wife), Daryl Hannah (as major movie star Athena Aquitane and Jason Gedrick's girlfriend), etc. "The Last Don" is not a masterpiece, but it certainly comes very close. 8/10. P.S.: The movie version I've seen was the complete mini-series. Four and a half hours uncut. You need a lot of patience with this film but it is worth every minute of it.

yenlo I was in the process of reading the book as the movie was being televised. I taped it for future viewing until I finished the novel. The book was to say the least not one of Puzos best. Then I watched the movie on tape. It wasn't any better than the book. The overall story just didn't have that Mario Puzo Mafia "ZING" to it like The Godfather had so it left a talented corps of actors with little to work with.

MovieFan983 This was a great movie, that was powerful and entertaining. It's recommended to everyone who likes the Godfather or Mob movies. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Rated TV-14 for some strong violence, language, and sexual content.
