This film is good, better than the first. The most powerful scene is the very end. James Kahn received the same amount of money from the first film to come back for the flashback/cameo for the second film. You cannot watch thus movie without seeing the first film. Otherwise you can be a bit lost. Robert DiNiro was awesome in this movie. Al Pacino was excellent. We don't see them together in another movie until Heat. Coppola's only work that's worth anything. The only thing that hurst this film is the 3rd film but actually it doesn't because whatever about 3. We're just thankful Sophia Coppola is not in this movie. Did I mention how awesome Pacino is in this movie. It's 3 hours or pure enjoyment nonstop fun. It's the movie that every mod dude wants to be.
