Falcone

I have yet to be in agreement with the CRITICS who make or break a show. I, and everyone I spoke to that watched Falcone thought it was an extremely well cast and played series. All of us were excitingly hoping it would become a weekly series. I think this series, especially while not being shown on PAY TV, where the x-rated language would have had a more definite impact on todays audience, still gave us a dramatic look into the world of "WISEGUYS" and GOODGUYS. As for Joe Falcone, played by Jason Gedrick, I know guys who look like high schoolers who are in his field. Titus Welliver was excellent and Lillo Broncato was superb, as was Sunny Marinelli. When isn't Eric Roberts right on. The remaining cast were all to be congratulated. I know Falcone has been compared to the highly acclaimed Sopranos, which I never miss and am addicted to, but take away the language and who knows where that show might be.

I don't watch much tv. But, I could not stay away from Falcone. Titus Welliver was excellent as Sonny. His facial expressions were a big part of great acting. His character was well written, he had a heart of gold, but, yet was ruthless. I thought all of the characters and the actors portraying them were a winning combination. If CBS knows what it's doing, which I wonder sometimes, they will keep this show on, but with the original cast. I personally don't see anyone else playing those particular characters. When it comes out on video, I'm buying it.

I only wish to say is: I enjoyed this movie very much. After a long day, I looked forward to it each evening. I love the drama, suspense, theme, ect. . . Plain and simple. . . Put the movie back on ! ! every night of the week. Without it, there is no sense in watching television at night.

As this show goes it's smart, funny and very sensitive to the audience. As I watch more and more I'm routing for the bad guys and actually like most of them. I know that is a little morbid but it's only a t.v. show. The acting is in place and Eric Roberts and Titus are standouts. It seems so real and very smart. This show deserves to be picked up for the new season. Give this show a shot if it stays on. I know I'll be looking for it. If you loved Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, and just love mobster t.v. or movies this show is for you. Give it a chance. You will not be disappointed! Falcone the T.V. show gets 4 stars out of 4.

I'm still hoping CBS (or another network) will bring Falcone back.

I've rarely seen such excellence as the understated performance Titus Welliver turns in as Sonny Napoli. What an expressive face! And great body language. He could carry the show by himself, but obviously the play off Jason Gedrick's Joe Pistone is key to the suspense.

Stay tuned. Maybe Falcone will return.
