Bugsy (TriStar Pictures, 1991)

"Twenty dwarfs took turns doing handstands on the carpet....repeat"

It's Gangster goes to Hollywood in this bio pic about Ben "Bugsy Siegel. Warren Beatty is fun to watch as he brings Bugsy to life on the screen in the most crazy way. From his secret plan to snuff out a famous world leader to his crazy desert vision, Bugsy is always teetering on the fence of bat $hit crazy to genuine genius. There are moments of sheer lunacy and fun to downright frightening. I liked it quite a lot.
So I give it 3 out of 4 squids.
