Apparently, the early 90's can be characterized as the mob revival era in cinema.
Such films include Goodfellas,
The Godfather Part III, Miller's Crossing,
Bugsy, and Mobsters. The last three were awful. Bugsy contains some of the worst
acting I've seen. In fact, I have to say everybody has been miscast.
Dustin Hoffman doesn't strike me as a gangster. Nicole Kidman lets her vagina do the acting. Loren Dean is next to hopeless.
Steve Buscemi badly needs a tan. Bruce Willis misses his hair a lot. Steven Hill should've stayed with Law & Order.
The story is pathetic. When the end comes, I'm left saying, "That's it?" At least, it has nice cinematography, making
my viewing a bit bearable.
All in all, Dustin Hoffman should've pulled a Billy Bathgate on the kid.
