Noel Murray AV Club 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. Rated: C+ Jul 12, 2006 Full Review Kam Williams NewsBlaze 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 7, 2007 Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals Rated: 3/4 Jan 16, 2007 Full Review Eric Lurio Greenwich Village Gazette Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 15, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...if you ever wondered what might happen if you literally stapled your mouth shut, this is definitely the flick for you. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 12, 2002 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Dull and pedantic, especially for an HBO production. Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member loved that it was true! mafia still active and stronger than ever.
