A Movie you can't refuse

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2002)

Great acting, great storytelling, and compelling images all add up to make The Godfather one of the best movies of all time. From the opening frames to the final scene, one cannot help but be mesmerized with the intriguing and fascinating story of Don Vito and his family. This is a picture of epic proprtions which features outstanding performances by veteran actors Brando, Caan, Duvall and Hayden; and equally spellbinding performances by relatively newcomers Pacino, Shire, and Keaton. This is one of those rare movies where seeing it once, twice, or even three times is really not nearly enough to fully enjoy the greatness of this cinematic event. This may not be the greatest movie ever made, but if it isn't, it certainly is one of the top five. A definite must see!
