This film is based on the true story of Giovanni Falcone, a judge who was assigned to work on the case of a few hundred mobsters caught in the city of Palermo, Sicily. Judge Falcone became some sort of leader to the anti-mafia investigation, his hard work encouraged others to try and end all the corruption that was ruling the country back in the 80's.
Falcone (Played by Chazz Palminteri) is aware of the dangers and rirks his job has, but so does everyone of his partners and best friend Paolo Borsellino (Andy Luotto), but they want to end the murders anyways. These judges go through a lot of trouble, people don't even want to be close to them since everyday one of them gets murdered along with their bodyguard.
"Falcone" (English video title) stayed faithful to the book for the most part, that's why there isn't much action or mystery here, so I wouldn't say it has great quality as a film. The acting was pretty fine, but since from the beggining you know how it's going to end, there isn't any thrill about the story. I'd only recommend this if you are interested in the facts, but if you're looking for fun and entertainment, try something else.
I won't say another word because it's pointless to start talking about the story, if you want to hear about it, see (or read) for yourself.
