Bugsy (Unrated Extended Cut)

	Bugsy (Unrated Extended Cut)
	by Sony Pictures Sales Rank: 11886 Price: $17.99

Warren Beatty and Annette Bening star in the incredible true story of Benjamin Bugsy Siegel, the playboy gangster who betrayed the Mob for love. A cold-blooded killer who dreamed of Hollywood stardom, a crazed patriot who plotted against Mussolini, and the brilliant visionary who carved Las Vegas out of the dry Nevada desert, Bugsy had it all. Until he fell for the one woman who wanted more. A critical masterpiece, BUGSY is a remarkable collaboration of Hollywood's best: director Barry Levinson, screenwriter James Toback, and an all-star supporting cast that includes Harvey Keitel, Oscar®-winner Ben Kingsley (Best Actor, Gandhi,1982), Joe Mantegna, and Elliott Gould. But at the center of itall is the white-hot romance between Bugsy and the insatiable starlet, Virginia Hill. *Viewer Reviews* 'Bugsy' tells the story of mobster/visionary Benjamin (don't call him Bugsy, at least not to his face) Seigel. Sure he was a killer; but he also was a family man, a lover, a multi-tasker, a man of exquisite fashion sense, and a visionary. His vision, you ask? He had an epiphany in the desert and envisioned Las Vegas, and built The Flamingo Hotel and Casino, which got the roulette ball rollin'. Perhaps his role in the creation of Las Vegas was exaggerated for dramatic effect, but Warren Beatty turns in a very compelling performance, supported by an excellent cast. The scenes between Beatty and Bening, his current wife, generate high voltage sparks, contrary to the rule about casting a married couple as lovers since they are so familiar with one another. 'Eyes Wide Shut,' anyone? Either 'Bugsy' was shot before the two actually got together, or it flies in the face of The Coolidge Effect. The Beatty/Bening match up is like a prize fight, something that is right at home in Las Vegas. Here is where they first meet: ----------------- "Bugsy" Siegel: Got a light? Virginia: The way you were looking at me, I thought you were going to ask for something more interesting. "Bugsy" Siegel: Like what? Virginia: Use your imagination. "Bugsy" Siegel: I'm using it. Virginia: ...Let me know when you're finished. ===================================== Another scene that reveals the complexity of Seigel's character, as portrayed by Warren Beatty, is when he negotiates cost over runs at his home while simultaneously trying to preside over his daughter's birthday party, wearing a white baker's hat and jacket. Can you say multi-tasking? It is quite a feat of juggling, despite the fact that he drops the main ball, and the scene of him sitting dejected in front of his daughter's cake with the candles melted down to wax puddles speaks volumes. Here we have a cold blooded killer who will choose silk ties and designer shirts for a bookie just before he shoots him. Always seeking to improve, he practices his diction relentlessly: ------------------- "Bugsy" Siegel: Twenty dwarves took turns doing handstands on the carpet. ================================ Can you say Self Improvement? Bugsy was certainly not your average gangster, and 'Bugsy' the film is not your average gangster movie. Great performances from Beatty, Bening, and the rest of the stellar cast, 'Bugsy' is a most worthwhile use of your film watching time. Barry Levinson ... Director of Bugsy (1991) Warren Beatty ...
