It wasn’t amazing but it was a solid film with some decent storylines aside from the obvious main story. Gave a fuller picture of what was going on with the Japanese. [B]1917[/B]. Spectacular movie. Really a tremendous and moving tale that brings you through a full range of emotions. Sad, frightened, tense, it never stops making you feel something. It’s also a feast for the eyes, gorgeously shot, even if some of that is gruesome. A note on the immersive film style, shot in what seems to be a single take from cameras that are constantly in motion putting you there with the soldiers. I found it astonishing. My wife got motion sickness and had to leave to vomit in the bathroom. [B]American Gangster[/B]. Found this on Prime. Denzel and Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott. How did I miss it? True Crime story of their Heroin trade in the Vietnam War era in New York. Well made, good acting but I never quite connected with these characters. Still the story is a good one. Overall a bit long, could use some editing. [/QUOTE]
