Godfather link

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2003)

After struggling through this movie, I had a very unique thought about how it came about. It is possible that the director(Sergio Leone), sitting in the year 2000 watching the Godfather trilogy and thinking about the mafia movies of the 90s, took a time machine back to 1984. There, he threw together this movie knowing that the actors would eventually be popular and by default, he would be know as "discovering them" for his "masterpiece"? He would also have gotten the actors at rock bottom prices keeping the movie budget to something he could afford personally and therefore not draw attention to his time travel. This movie is arguably one of the worst, drawn out attempts at "gangster nation" that I have ever seen. A word of warning that you would do better spending all of this time(nearly 4 hours) watching the DVD extras on Showgirls and then throwing up.
