The French Godfather
A simple and predictable gangster revenge thriller with some good action scenes. Not bad for a foreign film with a small budget.

Decent Gangster Flick
Critics slated this movie, but I had a good time with it. It's not going to go down as one of the greatest mob movies of all time, but it's still pretty good.

(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion). I enjoyed reading this book. The depth of the author's research is evident from the beginning. The gangster-speak, the religious references, the anatomical knowledge and more all add up to a thoroughly entertaining reading experience. The story starts as a typical mob tale...gangster kills good guys, gets shipped to another "family", gets new identity, etc. Where it gets interesting for me is when said gangster, Sal, is introduced to his new life. You can slowly see the battle between "good & evil" grow, like his old life and new life are fighting for control. The other characters are just as genuine, each playing a specific role in Sal's transformation. I'm looking forward to catching up with Sal and the gang in the next installment of the series.

I can see why this was such a big film for the time it was made in '83. Very violent, gritty, some shocking scenes and tons of swearing. You can see how it has influenced countless other gangster films since. While it is very enjoyable and entertaining, I wouldn't quite rate it as a masterpiece. The plot is actually very basic and straight forward and it's predictable. Al pacino's performance is what this film is all about, that and the bench mark for every gangster film made since.

Album Favorite

"They’re a little known hip-hop crew, descended to earth from a magical realm. They delivered some of the most hardcore, gangster rap rhymes I’ve ever heard. Channeling Dre, channeling Nate Dogg, channeling Mystikal, channeling all of my heroes"

The first Public Enemy No 1 was from South Dakota? What?! This is a fascinating look at the very early G-Men vs. gangster era, and a facet of the Midwest during the Depression/Dust Bowl that isn't often covered.
