Don't listen to the negative reviews
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
This movie makes you want to go make a great movie its just such a powerful authentic beautifully directed and written movie prefect for those who enjoy film making at its core even dub its a great movie although i prefer watching "Corleone" in its native tongue Italiano. Well that's all for now major thank you too Pasquale Squitieri for making this classic master piece and for inspire other great movies such as the "GodFather"
That's exactly the kind of movie I love in the Italian thriller. Powerful, realistic and a thousand times better than the action packed but empty other spaghetti features with bloody sequences and so gratuitous violence. Films that are actually inspired from US movies such as DIRTY HARRY, BULLIT, THE GODFATHER; copycats, no more. Italy is the country of mafia and corruption everywhere in the society, even in the politics. So, the film makers from there have no need to copy the US products, US schemes. They can do pretty good work with their own "culture". Film makers such as Pasquale Squietieri and Damiano Damiani have perfectly understood this. The pictures they describe are believable, authentic, even if they are shown in a minimal way, with no artificial and superficial means.
