Nobody gives a fuck about Russell Crowe's character in that, yet half the screen time is devoted to him, his failing marriage, etc. It was Heat junior...except the cop character is nowhere NEAR as interesting as Frank Lucas.

It's also a 3 hour long movie that needed epilogue title cards at the end. When you need that, your storytelling failed at some point.

AG is damn good, but it's not in the Goodfellas galaxy either.
