Review of Bugsy (1991) by Desson Thomson for Washington Post — 07 Jun 2016

Levinson was never one for narrative tightness. As with much of his previous work, Bugsy is a maze of episodes, a sprawling excuse for engaging human banter. Although the truth will inevitably catch up with Beatty -- especially concerning that expensive nightclub -- it's not entirely clear what the movie's about.

But that's the kind of detail Beatty's Siegel wouldn't even worry about. Neither should you.
