Meyer Lansky was one of the most notorious gangsters in American history, up there with his buddies
Charles "Lucky" Luciano and
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. A clever man yet ruthless to the end.
Harvey Keitel as an aging soon-to-be-dead Lansky,
John Magaro as his younger self and
Sam Worthington as
David Stone, an author writing a biography of the dying mobster and who still attracts close interest to the FBI. As all biopics,
Lansky (directed by
Eytan Rockaway) has its weaknesses. Probably because they are trying to be as accurate as you can get, it's not a full-on guns-blazing mafia movie. The quiet moments are there, but luckily they're gripping enough to be interesting.
