Not the worst - By: C. Simpson, 01 Jun 2007 
It has it's moment's but alot of the facts were left out & a love story that never happened put in... I've read the book that 'Lucky' had wrote instead of the movie he was planning, & it's alot better to read that then watch this movie. The actor's are good I had no complaints there. It's full of action with the likes of Mad Dog on their tail (which again never happened) The death of one of the Don's is wrong too!
It's time they took the book last testament of Lucky Luciano by Martin A. Gosch (who was the writer Lucky met at the airport when he died of a heart attack in 1962) & Richard Hammer, Now that would be a movie to see!
Considerably closer than many others - By: Ian D. Mackay, 13 Oct 2006 
This is a very good film. It mimics the actual events of Lucky, bugsy et al. The fact is most of the events in the film hapened. There is considerable documented evidence to support this (see Wikipedia.com for further reference). Please do not write references of films without knowing what you're talking about.
great film - By: , 05 Feb 2004 
Great screenplay!
Fairly true to what actuallly happened to Luciano et al. back then. They did start out as street toughs & end up owning New York, at least on the streets.
Luciano was killed because he tried to make a film of his life when the guys said no.
Mobsters? - By: , 23 Jun 2003 I looked forward to this film as I looked forward to getting home & looking at the first edition of mayfair I bought when I was fourteen. I had high expectations as a combination of my adoration for Christian Slater, & interest in the mafia & Charlie Luciano. I thought the film fell well below par. The thought of four youths befriedng each other when they're about 9, then alll becoming top criminals of the country seems a little too far fetched for my liking. Gives good background to the organisation callled the mafia & its development in the forties & fifties, but on the whole a less than average film. Obviously the film has a lot of truth but even the quality of acting failed to grab my attention & make me watch.
