Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 8/2/2024... Not very good considering the all-star cast of characters. Sharon F. (Shar) from AVON PARK, FL Reviewed on 7/9/2024... Three huge stars in this kinda funny, kinda sad, story about a father, son, and grandson doing a heist.
Movie ReviewsWith a Family like this... Bennet Pomerantz | Seabrook, Maryland | 02/08/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Sidney Lumet has directed some of the best actor (Fonda, Connery, Pacino. Holden, Widmark) and the worst (Vin Diesel). However this cute drama/comedy caper is cute at best and not worth his talents. If not for the three leads (Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman, and Matthew Broderick) who are involved, this film would be forgetable. Connery plays Jesse, the elder stateman of the McMullin clan who is part irish/part scot. Jesse is also a career criminal who has been out and in of jails. His son Vito (Hoffman) (part scot irish and Italian)was raised in the life of burglary and is trying to go straight with his meat packing business. Vito's son adam (Broderick) (who is part scot/irish/italian and Jewish on his mother's side) was gifted with a silver spoon in his mouth. Adam rather join the family business and be a thief like his Grandfather Jesse. The family dynamic works well with these three leads together, it breaks apart with they do not play scenes like a trio None of the actors are the weakest link in this film, it lays in the script itself. Lumet uses too many two long shots and two shots to make sure at least two of the trio is always together. The talent is on the DVD. One could wish one of these films giants or Lumet would have done an audio commentary, but none have come to pass. So steal this DVD for your collection Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD " Great Acting, Great Story, Great Actors, Great Film Thomas Rogers | Pennsylvania | 09/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "You can pick this movie up for a song these days and given that it is over 16 years old now if you haven't seen it yet add this one to your library. If you want a good drama about a multi-generational dysfunctional family then this movie is for you. Just buy it, watch it, again and again!" CONNERY,HOFFMAN, BRODERICK...OH MY!!! Gregory Saffady | Michigan | 05/07/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "And Sidney Lumet behind the camera? This had all the earmarks of greatness but FAMILY BUSINESS is what its principal characters are: under achievers. But what great fun! This is Connery chewing scenery ( dinner at Vito's, the prison van, the Pee Wee Grogan story). Vincent Patrick, who wrote the screenplay from his own novel, knows NYC street people and the landscape is genuine. There's worse things to waste 100 minutes on than this."
