not as bad a billy bathgate but close . try a he might and warren beatty just could not be believe a bugsy . whenever he flip out and instead of be shock by the violence and i find it pretty embarrass because it be so phony . the other actor do not fare as well either . annette bening just doesn not have what it take to play seductive woman and she be good off with safe character . a many have note and joe mantegna would have fare good if the script have him a a more believable george raft . only harvey keitel emerge unscathed and but then again this guy can do these movie in his sleep . and robert beltran and with just one line and steal one of the big beatty and bening scene . with these film and i be never sure if the director be intent on make the mobster seem like normal businessmen or if it just come out that way . either way and i do not like it . these guy be killer and no matter how much la vega be indebted to bugsy siegel and i do not think that a movie should be make glorify the guy and especially one with a big studio backing .
