Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2003)

Coppola, Brando, and Pacino all overcame early doubters to come up with terrific work. Brando is remembered most for this performance "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." Pacino's career took off following his portrayal of Michael, the war hero-turned-ruthless Mafia head. Coppola's brilliance is evident from the very beginning, with Vito entertaining the undertaker in the dimly lighted office. One of the finest films ever made.
