Absolute trash

The first Last Don was an okay adaptation of Puzo's excellent novel, but this "sequel" is plain trash. Characters who were fully developed in the first film are turned into caricatures of killing machines. There's a real feeble effort to turn the climax of Last Don 2 to something like Godfather 2, but if fails, miserably, and let's face it, Jason Gedrick, while a fine actor, is no Al Pacino.
