This film proves it: mobsters make lousy family men. A sluggish look at a tyrannical mafia leader and the deadly effect his "business" has on his dysfunctional family. Like all these 'life story' pictures the story is way too sketchy and rushes along barely skimming the surface of these folks tragic lives. Good acting but still a tepid Godfather wannabe minus all the flaming tommyguns, and overloaded with hysterical, unhappy screaming. The book was much more detailed and interesting.
