Pacino In The Thrown This Time

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2018)

(Flash Review)
If a duration of 2:55 wasn't enough meat for you in Part I, Part II clocks in at an immense 3:22. This films tells the story Michael Corleone's upbringing in Sicily and into the 1950's as a Don in New York and his ambition to expand the family business into Vegas, Florida and Cuba. Much of this film revolves around family relationships and how hard it is to keep trust with various family members as well as others in his...line of work. It additionally portrays that the more power, respect or control Michael strives for the more he actually loses what matters most; trying to be vague there. That is the 10,000ft overview. This movie flows in from Part I and smoothly matches the tone and atmosphere and brutal violent moments. The absence of Brando is noticeable but of course Pacino has the chops to carry you through. It is a true epic.
