Ok, speaking of Neri, were does he come from? He obviously came in GF1, but how did he get the job? Did he serve under vito? Anything about him in the book?
And in GF3, Vincent's man at the end tells him, "The twins are dead." Who are the twins?
Just trying to clear a few things up . . . thanks! smile

Neri is an ex-police officer that Michael "recruited" it does mention everything in the book. (plaw or turnbull can explain it more)

Neri's character is described and explained in the GF book. If memory serves me correctly, he was an ex cop who got into a situation on the job, killed some guy who was slicing up a little girl, and then was not backed by his own police force and got into trouble for killing the guy. I think that was the story. It's been a long time since I read the book. As far as the twins, have you watched GFIII? They are the two guys at the opera who are supposed to be protecting Vincent and Michael, but wind up getting killed at the opera.


Don Cardi cool

Neri's background and recruitment into the family by Michael is one of the best subtheme stories in the novel. Too bad it was left out of the film. You should read the novel to get the details.
The twins were an invention of FFC and Puzo for GFIII. I don't know where they came from. I think they were included in the film mainly for the dramatic and visual effect of having twin Mafia-type bodyguards who were killed in interestingly gruesome ways.

Yes, it is one of the best pages in the book, - how Michael made Neri "His man to death". Book has a chapter dedicated entirely to Neri and his story.
As to GF3... I've long given up my attempts to find some consistency there... smile

The twins was also playing pool at the Tommasinos house Whwn connie walks in and says to Vincent " are they as good as they look" "There the best" vincent replies.

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

Well - we saw how good they were... mad
Another flaw in GF3! Was Vinnie so stupid as to have so little people around in such a situation? eek Even good people? And walking one by one, to be easier killed? Connie would arrange Mike's security better than he did! grin

There has always been the theory that Vincent would not have exactly been the unhappiest guy in the world if Michael had been killed.

I don't see what would he gain. Michael made him don already.
