Review of American Gangster (2007) by Jay S — 12 Jan 2018

Very good, right down to the details. The details... Ya, they could have made this movie a little shorter. Not that any part of the movie drags; I suppose its much like a novel: It takes its time to enrich the story for the pleasure of the reader.

Because this is a movie, and coming in at three hours, I doubt I'll care to watch this movie again, so it lost half a star for that. The other half of the star, some of the relationships, such as the wife, were not sold to me.

I get his role, big boss guy, has to be the boss, but her, she was more of a mistress then life partner. Maybe that's accurate enough, but seeings how hes sentimental about his mom, I'd think the wife would mean a lot more to him.
