A Gangster Movie & A BioPic
Good, but not great movie. What is it about both gangster movies and bio movies that always feel the same? They tend to be good movies, but never get over the hump for me. I like movies like Ray, Walk the Line, and the Aviator, but they never make me love them. Same with gangster movies. Same with American Gangster. 3.25/5
