Re: American Gangster

Did I miss something in this movie, or was the entire investigation portion glossed over? It seemed like there was the fight, then bam, straight to the end. I wasn't sure if this wanted to be a gangster movie or a bad ripoff of The Wire or what, but it didn't really have the depth of either of them. To me anyways, it felt like a slow movie, but I couldn't really tell you anything about it other than the bare facts of case. I certainly didn't connect with any of the characters, none of them were developed in any meaningful way. I just felt like I'd seen everything this movie had to offer before and seen it much, much better, not a travesty but nothing better than a generic, mediocre movie.
