MP Da Last Don

MP's The Last Don was suppose to be a companion item along with his supposedly final album. That was the plan. I remember there being a slight delay on the film, so it came out a few months after the album.

This movie is Percy Miller's version of two classic films. One being an urban classic ,"New Jack City." The other being the all time classic, "The Godfather." Sure this movie has a B quality in it, and it's also rather violent for a short film. But this film is actually good. Since Master P hails from one of the most historically criminal areas of the U.S., and also is a reformed criminal there is some truth in this movie. If you get past the oddities of this film it's quite enjoyable.

The weak points are the basketball and half-Italian storyline.Although there is a delightful strip club scene. As far as rap movies go, Miller is Fellini. What does that say about hip-hop films?

Master P needs to be whooped with a fan belt for this bullshit. What a waste of time. I thought State Property was some corny wanna be gangster bullshit but this makes State Property look like Goodfellas. I actually know people that like this movie and recommended to me that I watch it. If they weren't friends of mine Id kill em.

First of all, you have to be 100% Italian to even be a made man. Im black and I know that much about the mafia. I like rap but I get tired of rappers making these fake ass gangster movies. Some of them have sold a few rocks and that makes them think that they are gangster. Real gangsters aren't in show business.

This is one entertaining flick. I suggest you rent it, buy a couple quarts of rum, and invite the whole crew over for this one. My favorite parts were.1. the gunfights that were so well choreographed that John Woo himself was jealous, .2. The wonderful special effects .3. the Academy Award winning acting and .4. The fact that every single gangsta in the film seemed to be doing a bad "Scarface" impersonation. I mean, Master P as a cuban godfather! This is groundbreaking territory. And with well written dialogue including lines like "the only difference between you and me Rico, is I'm alive and your dead," this movie is truly a masterpiece. Yeah right.

Just as 'I'm Bout It' stole the story lines from different 'hood' movies and stuck them together badly with a bunch of poor actors, so this film does but with Gangster movies.

Master P plays a CUBAN gangster called Don CORLEONE. Corleone was the surname of family in 'The Godfather' only because they came from the town of Corleone in Sicily. The family in this pretty much act like any other stereotyped Italian American gangsters except for the fact they are slightly more hot headed and have badly delivered Scarface accents. Master P himself seems to change accent at different points of the film from his southern American drawl to an even worse Scarface accent than anyone else. The music is supplied by P himself and his No Limit Soldiers. Master P was never a good rapper, but has made a large fortune off rapping... he's an even worse film maker and actor but I'm sure he made a fortune off this too. Saying all this, there is a small charm to the film, partly due to it being so bad it's actually quite amusing.

This has to be one of, if not THE greatest Mob/Crime films of all time. Every thing about this movie is great, the acting in this film is of true quality; Master P's acting skills make you actually believe he is Italian! The cinematography is excellent too, probably the best ever. This movie was great; and I have the brain capacity of an earth worm.
