Cathy: This is a television biopic based on Meyer Lansky, associate of mobster Bugsy Siegel. I love the mobster genre, but this half-focuses on the end of Lansky's life. Lansky is played by Richard Dreyfuss, who I don't really care for, so the adult timeline was pretty boring to me. Matthew Settle plays young Bugsy Siegel (played by Eric Roberts in the adult timeline), and his part was amusing but he's only in about a quarter of the film. I say record it sometime on VCR or Tivo and stop watching after Matthew's scenes are done.
