So what crazy is 1991’s Mobsters remains the second best piece of filmed media about Luciano/Siegel/Lansky. (Second to Boardwalk, of course). Could the casting have been better? Sure. Is it very 1991 in parts) oh yeah. Would I like a word with whomever didn’t fucking know it was called the Bureau of Internal Revenue back then and not the IRS? Absolutely.
Is it still miles better than basically any movie made about these people? YES. It at least understands the crux of their origins stories.
(It also has this bizarre bit where Meyer proposes a three way with Anna to Charlie but you know. )
