The Godfather: Part III review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 09/20/11
Definitely one of the better films in the 90's based on the writing, acting and direction. I felt this could have been better if Winona Ryder didn't get sick and played Michael Corleone's daughter. Al Pacino was really convincing here, I am puzzled as to why he never won an Oscar for any role in the Godfather films. Joe Mantegna's character was a welcome addition. The film's score was still effective and plot was interesting. Still has some wonderful lines: Michael - "No! Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment." "I'm a businessman, first and foremost. I want no conflict with anyone." Don Lucchesi - "Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger." A fitting conclusion to one of the best franchises on the big screen. The Godfather: Part III clearly delivers its message of redemption, being professional, family and trust.
