A brilliant companion to the first film, "The Godfather Part II" follows the Corleones into the late fifties, when the family business, as well as the family itself, undergoes changes. Don Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, delivers a very convincing performance alongside Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen. The story is crafted to fit the times and also to help define the characters and show their growth, and in some cases, their demise. When it's all finished, "The Godfather Part II" is thoroughly satisfying and moving. An exceptional film.
