I love Richard Dreyfuss as an actor, but I thought that movie stunk.

It was a good/okay movie, these kind of movies tend to make the criminal bigger than he ever was grin

I never saw Virginia Hill committing suicide in the movie though. But I agree on those other points.

However, factual or not, as a film Busgy is way better than Mobsters.

You're right, nothing was shown onscreen but there was some text at the end that suggested she committed suicide after returning money. In reality she remarried and died many years later in Austria.

Speaking of Bugsy, the best portrayal of Meyer Lansky was done by Ben Kingsley in that movie.

Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.

For a mini-series done by HBO in the 1990's, I thought Gotti was well done.

Besides the fake accent, he did a pretty decent job imo.

I thought it was a TV movie, not a serie?

Nah, Lee Strasberg's was the best. Oops, that was from that other movie grin.

im gonna go with knockaround guys. theres no way anyones convincing me John Malkovich can play an Italian. Vin Diesel obviously could yet he was Jewish in the movie (but an associate of an Italian crew) . why?
