Rating:  - You don't hate me, you hate not being me. But if you were born me you would have never been you...,
No joke, this is two hours of amateurish stuff, which cannot really be called cinema without upsetting someone up there.
I just went back to see some of the scenes of this movie again because they are so ridiculous I wanted to have another go!
So, let's start in the right order (warning, contains some spoilers, but you're not really going to watch this movie, are you?):

Rating:  - A professional, timeless, and satisfying film
The Sicilian is inspired from a novel of Mario Puzo, of Godfather
fame, of course, and filmed by Michael Cimino. From its 1987 release
date, the entire picture was way ahead of its time. This is the case
from the many timeless aspects depicted, such as rural Sicily and

plot which is very good, mainly for being credible.

Rating:  - I have no idea
My dad bought this movie cause it had to do with Sicily and Christopher Lambert starred in it. I saw a glimpse of the movieand I wasn't too impressed by what I saw, which was not much,but don't be too discouraged...its probably a good movie!!:)
Just not my cup of espresso.
Rating: - Scenery and Sets
There are many reasons for watching--and ways to enjoy--a movie. In "The Sicilian," these do not include strong performances by actors and/or a well-crafted film.
The movie was filmed entirely on location and that is its greatest asset. If you are considering travel to Sicily or simply enjoy beautiful scenery and sets, viewing "The Sicilian" in lieu of a travelogue may be enough to overcome the rest of the movie's limitations.
