Summary: A Mario Puzo Masterpiece
Review: The Last Don delivers everything any mob movie lover looks for without the graphic profanity. The cast is a delightful ensemble of talent; Danny Aiello is captivating as Don Clericuzio and Kirstie Alley is equally dynamic as the grief stricken nutcase Rose. It is as brilliantly acted out as Mario Puzo wrote it. A must have for anyone claiming to love Mafia flicks!

Summary: Movie as good as the book
Review: This is another of Mario Puzo's stories about the mafia, and it is very engaging indeed. While "The Godfather" tended to glorify the mafia, at least in Part 1, this film really doesn't. In fact, the basic theme of the story is that the patriarch Don is trying to remove his family from the world of the mafia, to safely enter the legitimate world, with the family wealth intact. While The Godfather more or less focused on the mafia from roughly 1930-1960, this story deals with the modern mafia of the 1990s and beyond. As always when writing about the mafia, Puzo tells a great story.This is a really interesting storyline, told more or less from the standpoint of the wise old mafia Don. The characters are very true-to-life and engaging. The storyline moves along briskly, with many interesting twists and turns. The acting is mostly pretty good. Overall, this is a really engaging miniseries that is great entertainment. One interesting twist is the film's portrayal of the movie business, which it portrays as being every bit as ruthless as the mafia. Funny, if not necessarily true to life.

Summary: The Last Don
Review: This is one of the best scripts ever penned by the great author of the Godfather and Omerta. As far as this movie is concerned as a film then again it must score very highly. Although it is not the epic marathon of the Godfather and because of this is more accesible. The screen photography is great while the acting is as good as youd expect from actors commisioned by Puzo
The godfather was a very hard act to follow and this is the one film in an increasingly popular genre that can match the great epic.
