One of the most iconic group of singers and actors to ever come together was the world famous Rat Pack. Known well in the 50's and 60's featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, for their hit songs, but also for their many scandals with women and the great connections with future president John Kennedy. The film gives some interesting insight on how the group formed and broke apart slowly, and focuses on each of the group members lives. Well in each member of the group i mean only Frank Sinatra and Sammmy Davis Jr. and what they do that affects others.
The acting is well on target, yet for some reason, we dont believe that they are exactly who the actual people were. The only outstanding performance in all of the movie was Don Cheadle who played Sammy Davis. He brought a real deep feling to the character that showed us something new about him. While the film overall doesn't quite live up to better singers biographical movies, it has some nice, interesting facts that will please anyone hwo is a fan of the singers, just like me.
