Most helpful review Family Business

  • My memory was far better than the actual film

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    I saw this a while back and I think my memory was very clouded. It was watchable but I have definitely seen better. If you are looking for a heist movie then this isn't the one to go for. However if you are looking for a film showing family dynamics spread over 3 generations then this is a film with some good lines and ok performances.

    Not Dustin Hofmans best and Sean Connery, I've seen better too.

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    You've probably already guessed that the Family Business in this all-star melodrama is the business of crime. Adapted from a novel by Vincent Patrick, the film stars Sean Connery as Jessie McMullen, the patriarch of a family of career criminals, including his son Vito (Dustin Hoffman) and grandson Adam (Matthew Broderick). Vito has gone legit, but college-educated Adam remains loyal to his grandfather. Reluctantly, Vito joins his father and son on a big-time heist involving millions of dollars' worth of test-tube specimens. There's many a slip-up and betrayal before the three generations can find a common ground.

  • Passes the time but not a lot else

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    This isn't a terribly good film. It's watchable but you'll never remember it and you certainly won't discuss it down the pub with your mates. With so many DVDs on this site I wouldn't bother.
