Only competent, but decent acting

A more accurate title would be "Lady Godfather" but I suspect that would be too copyright-infringing. The good news is that Susan Lucci does pretty well through the whole thing, and she's not alone; most of the characters are pretty believable, even if the circumstances seem almost a cartoon of mob movies (men with rifles standing at the family balconies, mob bosses gathered around a table in a dimly-lit room, etc). Sure, a lot of it doesn't make much sense, but that's just typical suspense plotting for this kind of story: expect every scene to result in somebody's death, and you won't be surprised when it does, or who ordered it. It won't really matter anyway; this is just a vehicle for Lucci (and others) to do a decent job on a low-rent project, complete with endless synthesizer padding for background music*.+extra credit for using the Psycho sting for knifing, and the all but stealing the Godfather theme for a funeral.

Chessy, lame, Cliched and just plain stupid

Okay her parents get killed in a mob hit and she goes to live with extended family of sorts. So who does she have gratuitous sex with???? That's right the cousin/extended family member that she went to live with. Talk about sick and depraved with goes over the top by marrying this clown. The only upside is that this pervert gets offed rather quickly, but that doesn't stop the neighbor pass around pack.She hooks up with the bodyguard who grew up with the family and who she should have been written up to get with in the first place if this lame movie required a sex scene.Add and bunch of cliched stereotypes, like the brother who becomes a priest and a dumb mafia boss who doesn't know that the Cayman Islands are not in the Pacific Ocean.Least we leave out the ending when instead of just shooting De Angelo, she procrastinates until her bodyguard boyfriend who comes to her recuse gets shot and dies before she finally shoots De Angelo. Oh, I almost forgot that the bodyguard should have shoot De Angelo's bodyguard when he first saw him in the kitchen waiting for his opportunity to shoot Susan Lucci's character.Weak script, stupid plot and dumb direction.
