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).

I just can't believe how many NYC cops were corrupt. Unreal. A total free for all. [/ QUOTE ] That's the part about it that aggravates me. 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.
