7/10
Delightfully awful

This movie is bafflingly bad in such a beautiful way. I genuinely am unsure whether they knew this movie would be bad or not. Harvey Keitel plays a mafia don who passes his empire on to his oafish Korean son (who looks about the same age as Keitel) Young-gu. Young-gu is such a bizarre character. His decisions make no sense except to get him into wacky farcical situations. Along the way he falls in love with a woman who is young enough to be his granddaughter. He also literally changes the dynamic of the world (invents the beehive, mini skirt and big mac). I don't know why this movie exists or how it got the quality of stars it has (was this really the best job offer Harvey Keitel got?). This movie is a must watch for fans of very bad movies. The plot is nonsense, the characters motivations boil down to being goofy and the entire premise is flawed. If you want to watch an old Korean man act like a cartoon character and Harvey Keitel try to work around that, I highly recommend The Last Godfather. If you want to watch a good movie, watch literally anything else.
