Decent Ending To A Classic Trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2006)

Not half as bad as people make out. Sofia is very good as the daughter, Pacino et al act consummately, and the storyline moves on at just the right pace.
The film as a whole - whilst not as good as the previous two - is a fine conclusion of a 'family' story like no other. I think sometimes these things can be taken too seriously, and as it stands this is a fine piece of cinema.
I think this can be taken on it's own, as much as one third of a whole. Sure it helps to see the previous two films, but as a film of someone seeking redemption and trying - but failing - to escape his past the film is a huge success.
Very good, and recommended. Think for yourself, not what the critics want you to think.
