Lame death scenes in GF III - 07/19/07 03:26 PM
I was watching GF III on AMC yesterday and I was struck by either the poor acting or the the poor script of how these characters died:
1) The worst was the death of Don Altobello being killed by the poisoned cannoli, given as a gift by Connie. I think it was a clever touch, but the way the character died while eating the cannoli at the opera was just so ludicrous.
2) The killing of Don Lucchesi by Calo with Lucchesi's own glasses. Again, it was clever, but so unlikely.
Honoroable mention: While it was very traumatic to the other characters, I thought Mary's death scene was also poorly done. I think the main problem was Sophia Coppola's poor acting skills.
I think these death scenes stretched the credibility with the audience.
