Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Lansky (2021)

Meyer Lansky, one of the main figures in American gambling, decides it's time to tell his story. He contacts a writer and spends several weeks reminiscing, on the condition that the story won't be told until after Lansky's death.

It's just boring. Sam Worthington as the writer is boring. The agents trying to find Lansky's money are boring. The writer's love interest story line is boring. Even flashbacks to gang hits -- one of which involves graphic eye gouging -- are boring.
