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 (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.

I expected a movie depicting the life of one of the biggest mafiosi to have a bit more momentum and a much more suspenseful atmosphere. If I exaggerate a bit, I could say that this seemed like a slightly languid bedtime lullaby. The casting of Harvey Keitel in the pivotal role of the aging crime boss Meyer Lansky was a great choice.
