I wouldn't characterize the movie as a travesty. It was a gangster movie the likes of which we've seen before enlivened by two of our finest actors.

I agree on this one as much as we disagreed on "3:10 to Yuma".

One scene made me feel old though. Some guy is showing Rusell Crowe a microwave (and letting him know he can have one that dropped off a truck for $100) and Crowe's looking at it like it's something from outer space. Then I realize I was already an adult at a time when when microwaves were being introduced.

Don't know if you read the article linked in the OP. Good story.
