Best mob film ever made

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2008)

I don't know how many times I've seen this film, but it's one of those movies I can just sit down and watch again & again. Even though I know what's going to happen in every scene, it just keeps my attention every time I see it. The acting is outstanding, the story line is very well written, and it just has all those moments that, even though you've seen the movie before, you want to see them again. Like, for instance, when the movie mogul wakes up to find his prized horse's head in his bed. Just thinking of the horror of that actually happening to someone, you know he's not going to go against the Godfather's wishes. And the moment Michael pulls the trigger to kill the drug kingpin and the police captain which means he is no longer an innocent bystander and is fully "in." This movie has so many mini-climaxes like this which eventually lead to the finale in which Michael rises to the top.
The best thing about this movie is that it never gets old. It will never be outdated, since it's set in the 40's, so it's a timeless classic.
This is without a doubt the best mob film ever.
