Boring, bad directing bad editing. The script is laboriously boring. What a waste of such great actors. They could have made this movie great but it was so hard to watch it without falling asleep.

David Stone (Sam Worthington) is a down on his luck author. Organized crime accountant Meyer Lansky (Harvey Keitel) approaching the end of his life with lung cancer (4 packs a day) agrees to tell Stone what really happened. To complicate matters the FBI wants Stone to supply them with information about the whereabouts of the legendary fortune that Meyer amassed. It was an interesting story about a man I didn't know existed until I saw this film. Told in flashbacks, the action lacked the proper drama. The production paints Lansky as a complicated man who was a patriot of sorts. Some of the lines used by Lansky remind me of a former impeached President. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

This film start with a man "Meyer" been interviewed, and another man "David" talking on the payphone scene! As turnout, this film is about David need to write a book about an underworld casino operator "Meyer"! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the flashbacks scene, overuse of the narration scene, overuse of the kissing scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the smoking scene, overuse of the writing scene, overuse of the typing scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the talking on the phone scene, and overuse of the eavesdropping scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, an article indicate Meyer died in 1983! That's it! Another disappointed film!

Just not very well told. Lansky, a retired gangster, after learning he is terminal, chooses a writer in need of money to write a book about his life. It is about the writer as much as it is about Lansky. It is based on true events and I think it suffers for it, it gets in the way of telling a compelling story. While I was never bored, I also found the film unsatisfying. So we have this character, Lansky, he is infamous enough for the book to be a guaranteed hit, he had dealing with the greatest gangsters, the fbi is looking for 300m he has supposedly hidden somewhere, the movies is focused on him telling his life's story, yet I was far more interested in the writer's life.

Meyer Lansky was a Jewish immigrant who had an affinity for numbers, and his "business sense" eventually made him one of the most successful crime bosses. The story in this movie focuses on 1981, Lansky was to die in 1983 of lung cancer. But an author, money short, meets with him to gather information to write a book of his life. One provision, what Lansky tells him must remain confidential until Lansky's death, otherwise he wouldn't like the consequences. Much of the movie is told in flashback form, with a heavy focus on the late 1930s and the 1940s. Harvey Keitel does a remarkably good job as Lansky. Good movie, gives us a glimpse of the golden days of organized crime during the period that Las Vegas and gambling became big business. My wife skipped, not her kind of movie. I watched it on DVD from my public library.
