American Gangster, what'd you guys think?
Definitely an awesome movie. Similar to those big time drug movies, Scarface/Goodfellas. Denzel was amazing.
Thoughts?

it was lame and soooo long. This movie could have been great but I didn't think it was done right and felt everything was rushed at the end after 2 hrs and 30 min of build up.

i thought it was very good and that it would be much better on the second viewing
i loved the second half of the film... the first could have been a bit better

i thought this movie was amazing. Everything made sense and it flowed perfectly. It is one of the best films i have seen in awhile, and the length was not an issue for me, it went by fast.

the plot was very predictable and had many holes. They left out so much detail into points that I thought should have been more of a focal point of the movie instead I thought they filled it with a lot of fluff.
I thought Russell Crowe's character sucked and I could have done without the 30 min of divorce court. I would have rather seen him more in police action investigating and talking with his crew more than sitting in court which had nothing to do with the movie.
They barely know nothing about Frank Lucas and they are finally making ground and bam he is arrested movie over. They didn't give any time for that to develop. The movie was shit and I didn't have high expectations going into it either.
If you want to see a good movie go see "We own the night"

I guess Dave missed the whole point of the obscurity of the operation, and how he was an unknown, and remained that way because DEA officers were getting paid not to care, which was made abundantly clear.
Anyway, pretty great movie.
