Mobsters

Four young men growing up in the 1920's:"Lucky" Luciano (Christian Slater), Meyer Lansky (Patrick Dempsey), "Bugsy" Siegel (Richard Grieco) and Frank Costello (Costas Mandylor) are mobsters. Starting from the bottom and despite their diverse ethic background. Their bond leads them to the top of the underworld. Directed by Michael Karbelnikoff (The Last Ride) made an sometimes entertaining, fast-paced film of the rise of organized crime in America. Since this film is inspired by a true story. Slater & Dempsey gives it their best and while Grieco & Mandylor have little to do in this film. The film's colorful supporting cast like Oscar-Winner:F. Murray Abraham, Lara Flynn Boyle, Christopher Penn, Micheal Gambon, Nicholas Sadler and Oscar-Winner:The late Anthony Quinn helps. This film has plenty of violent action and it has certain class. The highlight is the superb production designs by Richard Sylbert. Screenplay by Michael Mahern and Nicolas Kazan (Bicentennial Man, Enough, Fallen). From a story by Mahern. (*** ½/*****).

I really enjoyed watching this movie. Everyone says that the characters were too young, but that's how young Lucky and the guys really were. Christian Slater was actually a couple of years older than Lucky at the time the movie was set. The age of the characters adds to the amazing ability of the kids to "succeed" the way that they did. All in all, the movie was a lot of fun. Even if you don't care for the movie itself, you can definitely appreciate the determination of these four guys and the power and strength of their friendship. The movie is fast paced and fun to watch, so it does a great job of keeping you entertained. It doesn't hurt to have four hot guys with power and guns, either.

No really, I saw it on TV and started watching it and then after 5 minutes realized I've already seen it based on one scene. Wasn't going to risk watching it again. I'm sure it was awful.

This is a good mafia movie,with good story telling,good acting and good atmosphere.I really enjoy mafia movies,and therefore I think this movie is underrated.The story is not unlike other mafia movies,about robbing each other and killing everyone in the way,but off course with class. Highly underrated,good movie.
