We're not involved enough to really care that much about Joe Valachi, and the movie becomes a series of high points on the road to a labored conclusion.

A satisfying slice of Mafia mayhem.

RTMaclean's MagazineOct 9, 2019

The film has neither subtlety nor depth and acting, with Charles Bronson in the starring role, earnest but dull.

Valachi wasn't biting off of The Godfather. To the contrary, they were developed almost in tandem. One just happened to become one of the greatest motion pictures ever created, and a global phenomenon. The other happened to be The Valachi Papers.
