Cements director's place as mob-movie master.
Outside of "Grindhouse," it may be the most bang for your buck to be had in a Los Angeles movie theater this season.
Set two years later, the sequel's the better film.
Distinguished by intelligence, wit and violence but is lightly wounded by some ill-fitting moments.
In To's movies no one is innocent, and the social corruption has reached down to the soul. He orchestrates action scenes with an elegance that suggests Scorsese.
Plenty of films owe a debt to "The Godfather," but it's rare to see inspiration used as successfully as it is here.
As in the first movie, To deftly references the "Godfather" trilogy, examining the moral equivocation and shifting alliances among various syndicate members.
