   ### - another good movie! :)   
      
   like sheesh there's nada for ages and then 2 come along at the same time??   
   (grinz)   
      
   wasn't even gonna watch it as after only 5 minutes or so it was clear it's   
   gonna be about... gangsters?   
      
   i mean, jeez... just about everything these days is about either vampires,   
   werewolves, aliens, cops & robbers, special-ops & spys or... gangsters??   
      
   and was just about to click away from it when i heard the name 'lucky   
   Luciano' mentioned!   
      
   (which gots my interest goin' coz have heard quite a few interesting   
   things about that particular dude...)   
      
   that as gangsters go... he was apparently a cut above the rest, was more   
   refined and/or a thinker and thus somewhat wise-er than just yer average   
   hoodlum, was also well respected and carried huge influence etc, someone   
   who, for example, looked down on/scorned the likes of al capone for   
   instance (referring to him once as being 'that little syphilitic pimp')   
   and also because (as mentioned in the movie) whilst in jail doin' life was   
   approached by the US gov to help with the war effort... which in the movie   
   is somewhat toned/played right down, but which in fact rather   
   interestingly went a whole lot farther than that! (go figure heh)
