| Baby Face Nelson (1997) Cast:C. Thomas Howell, Lisa Zane,F. Muray Abraham,Martin Kove C. Thomas Howell stars in this bio-pic about the rise and fall of gangster George "Baby Face" Nelson which although has strong production values is somewhat unsuccessful with truly satisfying the audience with the story that has yet to be done great. Baby Face Nelson suffers from the serious miscasting of C. Thomas Howell, the guy is a good actor, no doubt about it but here he just seems to over-do it and often reminds the audience about the superior Outsiders movie. However the rest of the cast are pretty good in their roles and some of the actionscenes are well done including an excellent climax. Still Baby Face Nelson could've been (and should've been) better.
