Agreed, Calogero--and that's only one of the improbable points. I thought this was an entertaining movie, but I don't see why everyone's all leaped up about it. Never spends enough time on any of the many subthemes to develop them. Some reviewers compared it to the GF. Not a chance! I liked Stanley Tucci as Frank Nitti, though. He makes a suave, effective gangster. He was excellent as Lucky Luciano in "Billy Bathgate."
