It's great and all that but...

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2019)

This is a legendary film and I don't think I have to sing it's praises. However...
From my experience, two things that nobody seems to have an issue with is the scene where Caan beats the crap out of his sister's abuser. It looked terrible. He clearly hit the air. It was embarrassing. And the scene where Brando is shot in the back about ten times. HE SHOULD BE DEAD!!!! And how lucky for him that they didn't shoot him in the head, considering all Italian hitmen do that! Maybe it's a matter of not caring because of how good everything else is, but for me personally, these things are incredibly distracting, especially when something could've been fixed so easily, i.e. the beating.
