a tedious gangster film that leave you wish someone have edit it farce more ruthlessly . i would have think that the story of the creation of la vega would prove interesting but it fail at almost every turn . warren beatty performance a the stupid and unlikeable bugsy seigel leave you wish you be watch someone else . once or twice he flash through the fog of his performance to deliver an interesting scene but most of the time you just can not care about him . annette benning give a skilled turn a his untrustworthy lover but even she only faintly more savoury than he be . i really wouldn not bother with this turgid drama unless youre a benning devotee .
