New York Gangsters
Added 10/1/2009
Very entertaining film that traces the lives of four notorious crime leaders: Frank Costello, Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lanski and Lucky Luciano. Excellent costume drama with some fine acting by Christian Slater and Anthony Quinn.
Although the film did not receive high marks when it was released, it has become very popular and provides a much closer storyline to factual events than other recent mob films. As time goes on, it will probably achieve "cult status." Definitely a film worth watching.

The True Story
Added 7/14/2009
This movie is as close to the truth of history making of the Mafia Syndicate as you can get. Christian Slater played Lucky Luciano as no other actor can. The supporting actors were also superb. If you enjoy the history or mob movies this movie is the one you need to add to your crime collection.

This movie has great history on how the group of mobsters started i was very intrigued by it,, i love the part where Bugsy Seigal (Richard Grieco) tells a little boy that a man in the other room has a job for him and the boy enters the room and "Lucky" Luciano (Christian Slater) and Meyer Lansky (Patrick Dempsey) are sitting down and the boy asks lucky Luciano if he has a job for him and lucky said u did it kid and flipped him a coin. The point of that was the boy just picked who the boss of their gang was going to be,, i guess lucky Luciano has the (look),,, it was a great movie a lot of Mobster style violence,,truly and old school mob flick!!!
