oh come on, it fell very short short of epic. Just being longer than other action flicks doesn't make a film epic. Like his previous few efforts, it is a superior genre movie compared to the others being put out, but it is not an epic.


a length of a movie doesnt make it EPIC I know that...

but a crime movie can be an epic movie...

The epic film is a film genre typically featuring expensive production values, an emotionally moving music soundtrack, and dramatic themes.


this film is a period piece movie. 1970's crime story! with a strong character base and all of the above..
so it can be an epic.. just not your traditional sort of epic. set before 1900 etc..

Now Deja Vu was the shiznit!!!!!

As for the ending of American Gangster.....you can't change history.....but they could've done a better job (probably made it more action-packed)......
