I didn't really enjoy this film, it was pretty dull. It's more a docu-film than a 'proper' film and whilst it no doubt shows the true story of the Sicilian mafia and the activities which they engage in it didn't make a particularly enjoyable watch. It was being touted as the new Godfather and it was far from it. There's lots going on in the film just a shame none of it was very interesting, several story lines which go nowhere and have little relevence to each other.
Too much hype surrounding this film and it being touted as something it wasn't. Dissapointing.

But I have to say that I was a bit blown away by the style of the movie and the scenes. Being used to stuff like The Sopranos and The Godfather this movie shows a really different image of organized crime.
I did like it...
