Title: Fascinating info on the birth of Las Vegas
Review: I never really thought or cared about how Las Vegas was started. Well...I now know!BUGSY is a slick, lavish and eye-catching film that oozes directorBarry Levinson. This is a real treat for the senses.The attention to the most minute detail is a hallmark of Levinson's work.Beatty and Bening are not favorites of mine.I personally hated the characters they portrayed in Ben Siegel and Virginia Hill.I hated what these characters did to others and to themselves. I am not a fan of MOB movies and in fact usually dislike them....but I liked this film.Why? Barry Levinson, that's why.He made this film work for me. This film is elegantly made...set design, cinematography, soundtrack etc.Sometimes you can detest the characters and feel nothing for them (hence the 4 stars!), but in the right hands anything can be made enjoyable!
