Beautifully shot, well-acted and dull. This is a movie that is so in awe of itself that it appears to be staring at it stunned, like a deer in the headlights.

Mafia in it the movie is kept for society of idiots. In the movie characters upon have no development of characters, well the only thing that is shown - it is changes of interaction of the father and the son that they I know each other better. The movie which excellent cast and a good game of Tom Hanks has nothing else besides.… Expand

I've made clear in previous reviews that I'm not really interested in "mob" or "mafia" movies, especially the ones by Martin Scorsese. This movie hits along those lines, but is more interesting and less boring.

I generally like the 30s America aesthetic, fitting, because the movie actually takes place in that period. I just felt let-down by the last half-hour, where what is exactly done must've gone over my head. Also the photographer has, like, three appearances, but still seems extremely underused. Coming to think of it, I'd have rather wanted to see a movie about that guy than the guy Tom Hanks portrays. Both of them aren't even the protagonists, though, that role belongs to Tom Hanks' in-movie son, who is actually likeable and not annoying all the time. The wonders of modern technology.
If you want to indulge in some prohibition-era movie aesthetic, with gangsters, drama, and road trips, this movie is something for you, if you want to see a movie that's actually challenging and interesting, I'd recommend something else. though.… Expand

Even though the primary kid actor attempted to cry, there was otherwise superb acting, there was simply no compelling story. To me, this was just a sluggish, dull movie.

To me, this was just a sluggish, dull movie. Even though "The Godfather" trilogy is a pretty "slow" collection of films, I truly enjoy it since there is fantastic action and an interesting plot. This movie failed to hold my interest; I could have stopped watching it at any time and not felt angry.… Expand
