Great interview....I can't remember being this pumped for a movie in a long time. Hopefully it doesn't let me down. But I can't think of a Denzel movie that I haven't loved, so I should be in good shape.
When does this open?
maybe.
rebecca is sick though...lemme ask her.

this movie is just getting GLOWING reviews. I'll definitely see it sometime this week.
and just one week away - the Coen Bros' comeback!

i was hoping this film was gonna be great.
but i couldnt wait for it to end. it just seemed to lack intensity and drama and it kept dragging on. in a 150 min film, i would have like to seen some more character developments but that didnt happen.
denzel is good as usual though so that pretty much makes it a must see, but i cant see myself watching this again.

Wow.. What did you do? Bring a stop watch into the movie theater?

no, long movies never bother me but this one just seemed to lack any flow to it.
plus the ending is very anti-climatic, so that doesnt help things much.

It just seemed like it was trying too hard to be the new "Scarface". I was disappointed by it.
No Country For Old Men? Haven't even HEARD anything about it. Is this really the Coen Brothers or the guys who have been pretending to be them recently?
Just watched Lebowski the other night on HDDVD. That's some of the best dialogue writing in a comedy ever. I really love those guys when they are on their game.
Does it matter? If you're a Coen Bros. fan you're going to see a Coen Bros. movie in the theater. Just like the Wachowski Bros.

my roomate (a notorious movie snob, but a HUGE fan of the Coens (while shunning their last three movies) saw this and said he'd see it another three times in the theaters... at the least. I'm excited.
WTH? I had to recheck two times to see if I was in the American Gangster thread.. Not sure how the convo got to the Lewinski brothers or whatever the dudes names is..
I don't believe I have ever seen a Coen Brothers film. The Big Lebowski is that awful looking movie with bowling in it right?
Well I did a film check and all that I have seen by the Coen Bros was Fargo and I didn't like it.
Ladykillers dude, ladykillers.
I actually came to like intolerable cruelty after a few viewings.
But they haven't made movies like Hudsucker and Millers Crossing or even Oh Brother for awhile.

this just clinches it. you have no sense of humor whatsoever Sanders!
btw, I thought Gangster was very good, but I went in with lowered expectations.
Just watched it. Awesome movie. I don't see how you could say that it drags on too long. I watched the nearly 3 hour version and still wanted more. Instant classic. (Caveat - I tend to really like gangster movies/tv shows)
The movie slightly modified the events after Lucas goes to prison. Here's the true story:

Most will disagree with me, but I liked this better than No Country for Old Men.

Saw this back when it opened. I liked it. Not as much as I liked the Departed, but I liked it.
