2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's novel., 2 Jan 2003

(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Billy Bathgate [VHS] [1991] (VHS Tape)
This film is great proof for the old addage that great books rarely translate into great films- though that is a general statement: for every Empire of the Sun, The Magus & Dead Babies, you have a Grapes of Wrath, LA Confidential or Age of Innocence. You can even have a script from the esteemed playwright/screenwriter Tom Stoppard (Brazil, Shakespeare in Love, Enigma) and music from the great Mark Isham and appearances by the great Steve Buscemi and still not have a half-decent film.

This comes across as a poor-man's Bugsy- though the gangster film had been definitively rendered a genre that almost had litle mileage left after such iconic greats as Once Upon a Time in America, Goodfellas & Scarface. The structure appears to be initially quite interesting, but all this is put out the window by hammy performances from Dustin Hoffmann and Bruce Willis. The anodyne child who plays the new buck on the block makes Chris O'Donnell seem like prime Pacino. Terrible: go straight to the Dead Poet's Society and do not collect £200. Wonderfully shot and with an excellent performance from Nicole Kidman (who bravel bares all), this film is still not something to go out of the way to watch. Best stick with Doctrow's excellent novel methinks..
