| | Anonymous 10/31/2010 | | Absolutely the BEST acting; the BEST presentation I have probably ever seen since the Original GodFather - and the 2nd Godfather. If one listens and follows the character it is hard to believe that Al Pacino had that last part -- he should have allowed an escape! Those two loved each other in a very deep manly way. |
