Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

It is truly an exceptional example of a well-plotted movie gone straight to TV. Until I saw this movie I did not take James Marsden seriously as an actor...but then again I had only seen two movies of his (Cherry Falls and XMen). I was wrong. He was one of the best depicted characters I had ever seen. He shows his tremendous talent for acting by portraying the insane and deranged Luka. Not to mention charisma and good looks as well. Of course kudos to the actresses that played the mafia widows, they are a very talented bunch. The rest of the cast is also great but I can't help but acknowledge Marsden's performance.From watching this movie you can conclude the fact that you should never mess with a sicilian woman.

Spoiler oh my god!!, i loved this mini series when it showed on our t.v screens in new zealand.I just love sofia's accent and thought she played her part well.When luka killed the children i hated him, but yet i was mesmerised by his looks and charm. The worst part was when the "family" finally sought there revenge then sofia found out that luka was her son. My god, if only things had of been different.I couldn.t believe that and i didn't want him to die. It was heartwrenching watching sofia holding him with the locket that she gave him as a baby and then he dies. IThe ending was pretty awesome as well.It kinda makes you think that maybe there are people so powerful out there that they can just blow you up any time. Scary man!!

BELLA MAFIA is a moving story - which holds your interest for those with brains and intellect. The women show power and raw emotion comes into play. Nastassia Kinski and Vanessa Redgrave are brilliant actresses when it comes to underplaying emotions and living it all through the face. James Marsden's Luka is heinuos and totally insensate in his lunacy.
It's where Nastassia discovers Luka is her son after killing him and she buries him without revealing this secret to the other women of the Luciano clan that we see the power of the Bella Mafia. They are able to hold death defying secrets, suffer life threatening suffer losses and not betray themselves or their cause. As Nastassia takes off her dress, the dress in which she murdered her firstborn and lights a fire out of it by his graveside, we see the Phoenix rise, an awakening of steel, the rebirth of blood causes. Only death can stop the Bella Mafia. There is a play on all the characters but Nastassia and Vanessa Redgrave are outstanding in role as doomed lover, widow, vengeful mother/gun totting matriarch, shrewd defender of the brood and finally Head Of The Clan.
These Women Rule OK!!!10/10

The extravagant look, sunny locations and the "distant lands" atmosphere make this movie a great escape on a winter's day. Le Plante is tied by US law but succeeds in keeping the story flowing with some sweet touches here and there. Being a big Carmen Argenziano fan, there's plenty to drool over and he plays the part of an influential Don with style. Others players add little but on the whole this is an enjoyable piece.
