The wolf in sheep's clothing ...

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2008)

A lot of reviewers here are drawing comparisons between The Godfather and this film. What's not pointed out often, if at all, is the closest comparison the lead characters have in common is they are both psychopathic. They both feel themselves to be above the law and both have no compunction about breaking the laws we little people try to live by, right up to and including murder. The film was well done, but I kept hoping at some stage someone would point out the movie's title was one of sheer sarcasm. However we reap what we sow. And what evil deeds justified in shadows then, we're seeing the fruits of now. The worst is that those in government committing these crimes no longer even see good reason to hide them. It left the same sensation as Lord of War did with the arms trade. The sensation of having to live in a world whose leaders have stared into the abyss for so long they now mirror its reflection.
