Remember the cheating ex? Oh, he gets what’s coming to him. That loser thought he was the king of the world, but when he sees Sophia walking in on the arm of the Godfather? Let’s just say he turns into a puddle of regret. The best part?

Of course, it’s not all roses and diamond necklaces. The Godfather has enemies. Lots of them. And Sophia gets caught in the crossfire—literally. There’s a scene where she’s kidnapped, and he goes full John Wick to get her back. The action is over-the-top, but the emotional payoff is huge. You’ll find yourself rooting for two people who should never work together.
