But in spite of all that--and in spite of the artfully lit interviews and energetic musical score--the documentary resolves into an accumulation of names, dates, and mundane procedural detail. Go to Full Review Kam Williams NewsBlaze 07/07/2007
3.5/4
Though not a feelgood flick by any means, this encyclopedic recounting/bittersweet biopic does pay tribute to two dudes crazy enough not only to take on the mob, but to win for a while. Go to Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals 01/16/2007

Ramon L @Ramonelle May 25 The pace is very slow and the action is non-existent, so much unlike mafia films I have watched. The props are so bad, especially the final scene where the explosion looks like a dug up excavation. See more 04/21/2015 The trouble with this movie is that there are good guys and bad guys, but I didn't care. This movie didn't make me care. See more 03/28/2012 Really? what a fricken all over the place film. My god i couldn't stand the no emotion acting of this film to the point of agony. However the music and actual story behind this film are great but it was executed so poorly. See more 08/14/2011 This was an HBO Event.Anything True & Mafia related, I can't help but indulge my curiosity.Despite the Crazy Name, this was a great True Story of the Man,Judge Giovanni Falcone(Chazz Palminteri) with the courage to go after the Mafia Run city of Palermo, at all cost.Quite Interesting & well portrayed See more 10/08/2009 loved that it was true! mafia still active and stronger than ever.
