The first 2 films are rightly classed as cinema at it's finest. You really can't find finer films then these 2 with many actors/actresses providing their finest screen performances. The location filming which took place in New York and Italy is a done to perfection.

The 3rd part. Yes the Fredo Corleone of the 3 films can never live up to his 2 brothers but you can't help but like him. The film is a good film in it's own way and is enjoyable however they maybe should have left the books to tell the rest of the tale.

Overall with the films and extras this is 5 stars all the way.

I watched Ocean 11 (which I thought was good) but couldnt remember if I had seen Ocean 12. I watched Ocean 13 last night and its utter tripe! Its soooooooo predictable, the characters are too arrogant and smug to care about. They buy 2 channel tunnel diggers for about $60m (yeah right!) and transport them to the US and dig under Vegas (yeah right!). The acting is wooden, the film is one dimensional, there is no tension, no sense of will they pull it off or not and no sense of danger to the gang. Al Pacino isnt nearly menacing enough. Verdict : dont bother!

Oh, I remembered I havent seen Ocean 12 but I dont think I've missed anything.

I expect that if your buying this you'll know what its about so I'll review on the quality of the image if I may. Some films, especially older ones have a poor quality transfer onto DVD, though not this one. Colours and detail are first class, offering up a bright colourful image devoid of any nasties (blocking etc. If you've seen DVDs of the orignial Star Wars the picture quality is on a par with them.

and that says a lot after SCARFACE. But I have never seen anyone play a blind man as well as Pacino. The empty stare, most actors can't do it. Although a remake (the original is an Italian made film) this is a GREAT drama and fully deserves the Oscars it got! Actually worth 6 stars!

Fantastic. This film has plenty of everything you might want in this area. It's great entertainment, has the tang of reality plus a good deal of violence, domestic aggro and an interesting take on mob life.

It also has Al Pacino, Johnny Depp and Michael Madsen putting in top performances, and that can't be a bad thing. Very, very good movie.

This is great stuff, hugely good fun and absorbing from the get go. The script and performances are great (check out Edwin Torres' books Carlito's Way and After Hours - both the basis for this and stunning reading) and the film delivers in every way. Some fine action and pretty much iconic scenes and you have a real winner.

Some say Michael Mann is an acquired taste. I say an appreciation of Mann's films, notably Heat, The Insider, Collateral, Ali, Thief and Manhunter, means you have taste. At sixty-three, he's a world-class filmmaker who's still breaking rules and rubbing nerves raw. The bottom line on this 1995 classic is that is a very smart, tightly paced, action-packed crime thriller with beautiful cinematography and great performances underscored by a compulsive tension that builds from frame one until the end of the movie.


This is a film for blokes; the bottom line for females viewers is that because the film is so unconventional and densely plotted, it may leave many of our make-up lovin' brethren in the dust. Too bad. Some reviewers on Amazon are all lined up to ... Read More:
