Modern Godfather?

Rating: 5/10 (21 January 2015)

SPOILERS!!!
Well i think it is sort of a modern Godfather, at least there are some similarities such as the movie tries to give a complex picture of a figure who we would normally perceive as an evil person just based on his "profession" and the movie tries to explain us that it's not just black and white but more like a grey area (obviously in terms of good- bad). Other then that obviously it mostly based around violence just a more modern form and the hero does not actively take part in it, but does encourage it and makes a business out it. And on a side note that actually fact that the hero does not take part in the violence is actually not really a purely good thing it also represents him to be coward to some extent. And lastly, a very strong motive in both movies is how it is not really about an achievement, there is no END to this activity and the main hero even if he sometimes says so or acts so does not believe that this only a temporary solution for him, but instead he will continue it even if it means sacrificing anything, even his family.
That being said obviously not as great dialog as in Godfather, not as good acting, not as good story and mainly the action is sort of like in Godfather 3, some interesting scenes but huge part of it actually becomes boring.
I didn't like the ending either, due to the plot his family realizing that he is a liar (which they probably already knew just couldn't face it until they see it.) and leaving him completely makes sense, but when watching the movie it just seems ridiculous that his wife just follows him, he leaves stuff open and everything just happens too easily for a veteran leader warlord of a shady business. The directors couldn't seem to find a more realistic option it seems so they forced this one to get the moral ending they wanted.
