American Gangster

My boyfriend was so looking forward to this movie. At 2 hrs 40 min it was long, and it had some great scenes, however, it was as if there was too much middle and not enough end. The movie goes on and on with general life style of both main characters, which is fine but it was as if the director realized oops we've got 2 hours so far. We better rap this up. They could have done so much more with the end. It felt really unsatisfying that they took such a dramatic story and just rapped up the end in five minutes. I think because of the the length of this movie and because it didn't live up to its hype, it would best be watched on DVD. The actors did do a great acting job. This could've been a great movie, but somehow, it just missed the mark.
Pros: great cinematography, great acting
Cons: 2hr 40 min movie, abrupt ending
