This is a very overlooked movie--James Caan is at his finest and he shows true emotion thru out it. Check it out when he finally finds his kids and his reaction--only a true actor could be this good. This should be on DVD--hope it will be in the future. Check out other James Caan flicks in the meantime like The Gambler and the Godfather!!! Classics!!!!!!
Viewer Reviews I just wanted to add this in for the interest of others. My name is Alex Calabrese, if you read the book you know the mobster Paddy Calabrese. This man was my grandfather. He was very interesting, not the nicest bloak but he did some good things in his life also. I felt compelled to write at least something as both of my grandparents recently passed away. My grandmother, the wife of james caan's character passed away from sudden cancer it was heartbreaking and even her former husband Paddy came down for her funeral. And Thomas Leonhard sent flowers that I saw at the open-casket ceremony. When I saw them with his name I got the chills. I live close to my uncle Mike who was estranged from his father and he's the nicest man you could meet. My grandfather Paddy passed away this past spring of a heart attack and my Dad was hurt. My grandma was a great person and she loved all of her grandchildren and took us places together. So when she died people from California to New York came to her funeral. I just saw what the previous writer wrote about my Grandma's character, and I was hurt. But that's no insult to him because the book and/or movie was his only insight. But my family wasn't exactly pleased by some of the portrayals. If anyone would like to ask a question about the stroy or book/movie feel free to post it.
