    It is extraordinary that, with gangster-era America providing such a natural source of drama, director Michael Karbelnikoff should turn gritty reality into such an empty tale. Hampered by inanity and a tortuous plot, Christian Slater (as “Lucky” Luciano), Patrick Dempsey (Meyer Lansky) and Richard Grieco (“Bugsy” Siegel) still manage to look reasonably credible in period suits, while Anthony Quinn and Michael Gambon, as two hard-nut mobsters, supply the flair and fire.

    Being probably the only 30 year old male in the UK to have not seen this film I was sceptical, however I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The easy to follow story line and gritty characters keep you hooked throughout. The film helps you remember why cheeky chappy Christian Slater was so popular in the 80's and 90's. Good performances all round by the cast left me feeling satisfied with the movie.

    Nicholson admits he is "not much of a raver anymore"

    • 03 Feb 2004

    Hollywood rogue Jack Nicholson has admitted that he is starting to slow down. The 66-year-old superstar actor has been infamous for his partying and womanising but now says his raving days are over. "I've been walking pretty slow upstairs for a long time," said Nicholson. "All my pals seem to be out of town. I'm just here for a couple of days so I won't be able to play Jack the Lad on this trip. "All good things come to an end. I'm not much of a raver any more. I think it's... Read more
