Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2005)

The Godfather Part begins with Michael as the King of the Corleone crime family. Michael is nearly assassinated by Hyman Roth played by Oscar nominee Lee Strasberg. Michael sets up a partnership with Roth in Cuba but they are ousted during Castro's overthrow of Batista. Michael finds out that his older brother Fredo had betrayed him. Meanwhile, young Vto Corleone is rising to power. Rober De Niro won his first Academy Award as the young Don. As Deniro rises, the story flips back to Michael's fall. Michael is investigated by a crime commission. G D Spradlin is excellent in the role as a a politician who is blackmailed into supporting Michael. Michael V Gazzo is excellent as Frankie 5 Angels.
