TB in the movie, there is the quick flash in Sollozzo's eyes a split second before Michael shoots him, as if he KNOWS its coming but its too late. It is yet another of those little things that makes the GF such a great film.
And while we're on the subject of things that make GF such a great movie:
Although Sollozzo is important as a catalyst for things to come in the film, his character doesn't have a lot of screen time and he's knocked off early. But Al Lettieri was such a brilliant choice, and did such a great job with the relatively few lines he had, that he's a far greater presence than his limited screen time would otherwise indicate. He's yet another of those brilliant casting choices, like Joe Spinnel.
