This movie is more then 5 hours long. Some will argue that it's actually two movies but it really isn't. It's one long movie split in two.

At that length one could imagine it's way too long and the story stretches itself thin. I'd argue that it's actually not long enough and should be a series. When you cram 7 generations into 5 hours it's not hard to see why everything gets glossed over. The movie should either have been short and more focused on one story, or long and be released as a series.

There's one scene in the film where a guard is killed, completely silent I might add, by putting a towel over his head, seemingly suffocating him.

That scene describes the whole film as that's about how much thought went into every character, every plot and every subplot it has.

Characters and plots points never get explored, fleshed out or any kind of 2nd dimension to them. Most of the dozens of characters are only there to be on screen, never have any use and then be disposed of anyway.

Crime empires are built in minutes (with only two or three henchmen) and crumble down in even less time.

Nothing in this film, nothing at all, has any significance or carries any weight whatsoever. I can't find a single saving grace to any of it.
