The Godson

About This Movie

So, 'The Godson' is this quirky blend of action and comedy that really plays with the Mafia tropes. You’ve got Guiseppe 'the guppy' Calzone stepping into a role he clearly isn’t ready for after his brother’s death, which adds this layer of dark humor. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but in a way that keeps you guessing. The rival family’s plots add a nice tension, and the practical effects in some of the fight scenes are fairly amusing—they don't shy away from the slapstick. Bob Hoge directs it with a certain breezy charm, and the performances, especially from the lead, have this offbeat energy that sets it apart. It’s not your typical mob film, which is kind of refreshing.
