All of the flashbacks characters seem to know exactly how things will play out , lots of inaccuracies , Lamsky calls Luciano "LUCKY" before he ever meets him, but that nickname wasnt given until after they had been partnered for awhile. The Nazis did not throw their hate of the jew out there until later in their power , the were known as the labor or socialist party for the average middle class worker not just a jew hating organization as it is with neo nazi groups today. Very inaccurate all around . Harvey Keitel makes this film bearable.
