The Last Godfather (Hangul: 라스트 갓파더; RR: Laseuteu Gatpadeo) is a 2010 South Korean comedy film directed by Shim Hyung-rae.[1][2]
Synopsis
Yong-gu (Shim Hyung-rae) is the illegitimate child of the infamous mafia boss Don Carini (Harvey Keitel), who operates out of New York. Carini shocks everyone by stating that he wants Yong-gu to take over the operation, something that seems to be a poor choice when the man in question shows himself to be a poor candidate to be a mafia don.
