Review title: a good novel ruined by a bad actor
Product review: This movie is based on Mario Puzo's book of the same name: in other words, the source material here isn't that different from that of 'The Godfather'. It's a good book in the same way that 'The Godfather' is - exciting and rousing - but that isn't enough to make a good movie. Whereas Francis Ford Coppola and Marlon Brando made what many consider to be the best movie of all time, Michael Cimino and Christopher Lambert made a real stinker here. Actually, the problem less with Cimino than it does with Lambert. His attempt to play a Sicilian is bad enough; when you compare him to his co-star John Turturro he comes across as positively horrible. The beautiful scenery and some good acting from other cast members still can't save this movie. Avoid it.
