About

You’ll like it if you enjoy fast, hyper-excess biographical thrillers with plenty of humor and bravado; Not for you if you’re looking for a more restrained story, dislike heavy profanity, or want less focus on drugs and sex than in similar titles like GoodFellas or Casino.

Pros: addictive, high-energy plot; standout performances; sharp dark comedy | Cons: extreme explicit content; characters can feel empty; long and relentless excess
