Lansky (2021)
David Stone (Sam Worthington), a renowned but down-on-his-luck writer, has the opportunity of a lifetime when he receives a surprise call from Meyer Lansky (Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel).  For decades, authorities have been trying to locate Lansky's alleged nine-figure fortune and this is their last chance to capture the aging gangster before he dies. With the FBI close behind, the Godfather of organized crime reveals the untold truth about his life as the notorious boss of Murder Inc. and the National Crime Syndicate.

      This is the second biographical portrayal of Meyer Lansky--the first being Lansky (1998), played by Richard Dreyfuss. In it, he also tells a tale of his life to a journalist.
    • Goofs
      A scene set in 1918 shows a very mature-looking Meyer Lansky and Ben Siegel, who in real life at the time were just 16 and 12 years old, respectively, not grown men.
    • Quotes

      Meyer Lansky: When you lose your money you lose nothing. When you lose your health you lose something. When you lose your character you lose everything.

    He called himself an angel, with a dirty face.
    Meyer Lansky was a Jewish immigrant who had an affinity for numbers, and his "business sense" eventually made him one of the most successful crime bosses. The story in this movie focuses on 1981, Lansky was to die in 1983 of lung cancer. But an author, money short, meets with him to gather information to write a book of his life. One provision, what Lansky tells him must remain confidential until Lansky's death, otherwise he wouldn't like the consequences.

    Much of the movie is told in flashback form, with a heavy focus on the late 1930s and the 1940s. Harvey Keitel does a remarkably good job as Lansky.

    Good movie, gives us a glimpse of the golden days of organized crime during the period that Las Vegas and gambling became big business. My wife skipped, not her kind of movie. I watched it on DVD from my public library.
