Lansky must be a case of incipient Alzheimer's disease. How else could Harvey Keitel have forgotten that this movie had already been made a long time ago and a lot better, and that he was in it. Sure, Bugsy was about Ben Siegel (Warren Beatty) and it featured Meyer Lansky (Ben Kingsley), whereas Lansky is about Meyer Lansky (Keitel) and features Ben Siegel (David Cade), but tomato tomahto.
