I rented it last night and I enjoyed it. I thought Tom Hanks's performance was very good. just a question though, what do you all think these gangster/mafia films don't have that the godfather has? Like what elements are missing? The more mafia films I watch the more and more the GF movies (I & II) stand out.
most other Mob movies are about mob activities rather than the relationships and people. The Godfather was character driven. The Road to Perdition was similar in that respect, and was a great movie. Just not as great as I hoped from the previews.
