![]() ![]() Every cliche in book is used and it's just dull. The Director makes the mistake of doing the gangster scenes like painting by numbers. The scenes with Keitel and to a certain extent Sam Worthington are really watchable ( even though there are too many words of wisdom ) but the problem is, because Lansky is telling his life story to David Stone, the film is interspersed with flashback scenes of when he was a young man and to be brutally honest they aren't any good. I love a gangster film but they have to have something a little different about them for me to really enjoy them. ![]() ![]() When the aging Meyer Lansky is investigated by the Feds, who suspect he has stashed away millions of dollars over half a century, the retired gangster reveals the untold truth about his life as the boss of the National Crime Syndicate. Harvey Keitel is looking all of his 82 years and more but one thing is for sure, his acting hasn't diminished one little bit, which is a good thing for this film because if it wasn't for him, this would have been dull as dish water.
