An entertaining but ultimately poorly researched piece with many glaring potholes and an idealistic view on all things mob related.
It states Al Capone died in prison when he actually died in his Florida mansion from the advanced stages of syphilis.
It also bangs on about Whitey Bulger evading capture for so long but fails to mention that he was savagely beaten to death in prison, both for his stool pigeon antics and rumours of sexual deviancy.
I thought the visuals were entertaining and the pace kept you interested. Not bad for a tongue in cheek piece but not definitive by any stretch of the imagination.

If a three year old tried to explain the film Inception to a booze addled 80's B film director, who had a genie in a bottle that could grant wishes of money, but nothing else... it would go something like this.
The opening scenes showed so much promise. I always like a good mind bender of a plot with the main protagonist being taken outside of what we know to be reality (see Black Mirror, Electric Dreams and The Twilight Zone et al) but when your one from Queen of the South starts talking about 'Hypnotics' like she's explaining how to make an omelette, alarms bells started to ring.
From there it went downhill faster than the proverbial off a shovel.
I read another review that suggested Nichols Cage clearly wasn't available for this movie. Bruce Willis must have a full diary too as this brand of mindless pap appears to be his go-to in recent times.
It would appear that films are becoming like songs in this modern age... all the good ones have already been written.
