Review – Mobsters

Nearly two decades before Michael Mann’s Public Enemies, this is what star-studded, empty-headed mobster movies looked like. A quartet of faces that would have been familiar to audiences in 1991 (though not so much now) play real life gangsters Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello and Bugsy Siegel. The resulting parade of male bonding and violence would have impressed audiences in its theatrical release, though now it’s more of a “who the heck is that?” experience. Mildly amusing
