Though not a feelgood flick by any means, this encyclopedic recounting/bittersweet biopic does pay tribute to two dudes crazy enough not only to take on the mob, but to win for a while.

But in spite of all that--and in spite of the artfully lit interviews and energetic musical score--the documentary resolves into an accumulation of names, dates, and mundane procedural detail.

...if you ever wondered what might happen if you literally stapled your mouth shut, this is definitely the flick for you.

Dull and pedantic, especially for an HBO production.
