Re: American Gangster
Not much. Just a dark figure walking into a diner, holds a gun up, and when he fires the screen lights up and you see that he's Frank Lucas.
I liked the movie, it's not a classic though, imo. I thought the ending was a little too pat for that, neither epic nor subtle, just sort of there, gets the job done, but fails to leave a lasting impressive. I enjoyed watching the movie immensely, though, and that's what you ask for, really. So at the end of the day it was worth my $9 (except that it was free, being that I watched someone else's bootleg). |

Re: American Gangster
I just can't believe how many NYC cops were corrupt. Unreal.
A total free for all. |

The fictionalizing of an incredible story to supposedly make it "better" is a Hollywood cancer, and it's especially disappointing from someone with the skill of Ridley Scott. He's far from havimg to be a hack. |

Re: American Gangster
Are you saying that the making of the cops corrupt was "hollywoodizing." It was true. An incredible percentage were involved.

Re: American Gangster
No, read that review linked earlier. Some of the stuff about Lucas and the general story were made up. The cops being corrupt stuff was true.
