Lansky
David Stone (Sam Worthington), a renowned but down-on-his-luck writer,
desperately needs a break. His luck changes when he receives a surprise call
from Meyer Lansky (Academy Award®-nominee Harvey Keitel), the Jewish Godfather
of organized crime. The retired gangster spins a dizzying tale, revealing the
untold truth about his life as the notorious boss of Murder Inc. and the
National Crime Syndicate. For decades, authorities have been trying to locate
Lansky's alleged fortune, hundreds of millions gone. This is their last chance
to capture the aging gangster before he dies; but Lansky, as always, is one step
ahead of the FBI, sending them on a wild chase, evading and outsmarting them at
every turn.
Critic Reviews:
- " Lansky was a fascinatingly conflicted man. Rockaway, his crew, Keitel,
and Magaro have crafted an engrossing and indelible movie of his life story.
" – Michael Clark (Epoch Times)
- " Lansky is part crime thriller, part biopic, part history lesson and
pure delight, as we have fun watching Keitel and Worthington bring their
characters to life. " – Cate Marquis (St. Louis
Jewish Light)
- " This is a top shelf film with fantastic performances that should not
be missed. " – Emilie Black (Cinema Crazed)
