Magnificent

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 1999)

This film is true classic - One of the best films ever made BAR-NONE. There are the obvious reasons for liking this film - firstly the plot is wonderful - how one thing leads on to another.
Al Pacino and Marlon Brando were electrifying as Vito and Michael but in my opinion the star of the show was James Caan as Sonny - he is probably the most memorably brilliant character ever, also turning excellent performances were the superb but terribly underrated John Cazale as Fredo - The disregarded brother (he would shine trough in part 2) and Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen.
The most memorable scene in my mind if where Sonny gives his brother in law Carlo a slight beating with a dustbin lid.;
A true classic and JUST better than the sequel
