my girlfriend want to see this ( lol this be the case a lot ) . so i rent it . then i saw how acclaimed this be nominate for 10 oscar . great . this should be good ol drama . this movie have a lot of potential . the direction and the way everything be pace be very well . but once the movie end and i couldn not help but ask myself if this story be really worth make a film for . virginia hill ( annette bening ) be extremely annoying and i just couldn not tolerate her character at all . warren beatty be excellent in the film act wise and but again i just find it hard to have sympathy for his character . he just come off essentially a a idiotic and hotheaded loser of a gangster . who have no place in the life in the first place . how would he get in with the like of meyer lansky and lucky luciano anyway . this film just leave me with a bland but uneasy feeling . what be the big deal with this movie . i just do not feel a completeness with bugsy . beatty antic and although act quite well and just seem too random and illogical . i be guess that how siegel really be . but it be just too much of that . there just do not seem to be much of a real story here . my basic assessment of it would be a hot head and playboy and underachieving gangster fall in love with a loser of a woman and come up with the idea of las vega . but his failed attempt at the casino he build and along with have no regard for his mob boss money get him kill . what else be there besides that . i just do not see the big deal with this and and it be a big disappointment . there must have not be many movie to come out in 1991 and how this be nominate for 10 oscar be beyond me ( although the two it win be justifiable ) . 1 . 5/4 star .
