I saw this one first and I LOVED it. Then I went out and bought the first one. While the first one was excellent, this one is still nice to watch. I gave the movie an 8. But I give Jason Gedrick a 10!!!!!! I've always found him to be geeky and very blasé as an actor. But he is great in this role and he looks gorgeous! The only thing I really didn't like was the casting of Patsy Kensit. I never really thought Darryl Hannah was "the most beautiful woman in the world" she was okay. Kensit just doesn't compare to some of the other women who have played romantic roles in these movies - and her acting seemed choppy.Other than that, this movie is just like I said in the title - decent.
I enjoyed the movie,Jason Gedrick was wonderful,romance,breath-taking,and what every woman dreams of.When I viewed the movie I couldn't get that guy out of my head(Cross)he had characteristics of a mafia that I would like such as;jealousy.kill or be killed,secretive,a for real look,and most all passion.So to top it off very nicely he made the picture wonderful for me.I haven't seen The last Don 1 yet,but trust me when I say I will soon.I don't know that picture had to be good to me for me to want to see it twice,I never watch anything more the once if it doesn't capture my heart and this picture did,so The last Don 2 was more than good to me.
If you're the sort of sick pervert who enjoys lurid depictions of terrified victims suffering horrific deaths, yet quails at the sight of blood, this is just the sort of cr** you're looking for; knifings, suffocations and strangulations galore, cutting "discreetly" away from the doomed victim and going to commercial as they are murdered. Ugh. Beyond that, it has no value whatsoever. "Mafia fans" have got to be the lowest rung on the Evolutionary Ladder.
Even though I am not a fan of Mafia movies, I have seen quite a lot of them. So, considering what I have seen so far, I think that The Last Don II has not given realistic Mafia characters. Also, I think that so many people from different places are presented in the film, e.g. Hollywood, the Catholic Church, that it's difficult to watch the plot as it is developing.Also, what I found completely unacceptable is the moral approach of the director. Cross is the worst of all the criminals who surround him; Without the least hesitation, people are tortured and killed according to his orders.***SPOILER*** He doesn't show any kind of remorse or sorrow, he doesn't even spend a second thought on the death of the woman (based on his orders once again)that he kept telling her how much he loved her and that he couldn't bear the thought that she might get killed!And it is the woman who risked everything for keeping him save;and Cross knew that because if he didn't believe her he would change the dates of the upcoming attacks to protect himself against the FBI.And yet he's presented to us as the sweetheart murderer, the criminal with the appearance of an angel. He lives in a palace, he uses expensive cars, he's dressed in the most elegant clothes, he orders the death of people and we are... "praying" that nothing bad happens to him because we couldn't stand it! The whole idea is completely outrageous!
