American Gangster
This movie was a travesty. But this article on Frank Lucas is very good. They could've written the script straigt from the article.

Re: American Gangster
Wow what a disappointment to read that review. Ridley Scott is such a great director yet so unreliable. He seems to be at his worst in urban melodrama. I think he needs space ships or crusades, and you need a Michael Mann directing this flick. The review at many points sounded like the movie was full of parallels to the relationship between cop and robber in Heat.

Re: American Gangster
I saw this with the wife Saturday night. While I thought it was a bit to too pat, a bit of a cinematic spline that had to pass through certain predetermined points, it was definitely a good movie. Not great, but certainly not a travesty. Would recommend it.

I don't think that this film was a 'travesty'. I thought it was definitely worth a watch. While a bit long and drawn in the middle, I still enjoyed it. disclaimer- I really enjoy this genre of movie.
