 Rating:  - You don't hate me, you hate not being me. But if you were born me you would have never been you...,No joke, this is two hours of amateurish stuff, which cannot really be called cinema without upsetting someone up there. I just went back to see some of the scenes of this movie again because they are so ridiculous I wanted to have another go! So, let's start in the right order (warning, contains some spoilers, but you're not really going to watch this movie, are you?): - The fact that the movie was entirely in English should have given it away, very funny to hear ...

Rating: - Scenery and Sets There are many reasons for watching--and ways to enjoy--a movie. In "The Sicilian," these do not include strong performances by actors and/or a well-crafted film. The movie was filmed entirely on location and that is its greatest asset. If you are considering travel to Sicily or simply enjoy beautiful scenery and sets, viewing "The Sicilian" in lieu of a travelogue may be enough to overcome the rest of the movie's limitations.
