Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, it took me a while to really get into this movie. Basically, the whole thing was at first actually rather murky in my opinion. Indeed, who was exactly Busgy Siegel, who were all those people related to him and why did he actually go to Los Angeles? Fortunately, later on, it became much more obvious and, from that point, I got rather hooked by this story. Indeed, the directing was fine, they managed to give a good feeling of the 40's and all the supporting actors gave very good perfomances, especially Annette Bening. Eventually, the driving force of this picture was definitely Warren Beatty. Indeed, he was a perfect choice to play this character and he gave a real powerhouse performance. Indeed, thanks to Beatty, Bugsy was at the same time charming, manic, visionary and rather fascinating to behold. To conclude, even though I donโt think this movie was really a masterpiece, above all because the whole thing was sometimes rather unfocused, it was still a pretty good movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
