    I lived in NY back then and worked in Harlem in the 70's.

    was it better than "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" though?

    the movie was just okay imo. there was very little backstory about what drove either character. attemtpting to have a balanced view of both of their lives was an interesting though at times irritating vehicle. the character development about who these men truly were and why they did what they did was absolutely nill. in the book it explaines how frank met up with bumpy, etc. in 2 and a half hours this could have been done and this movie would be on par with the godfather. but its not. its just okay

    I thought it was a very interesting movie but I'm a Denzel fan. Josh Brolin was excellent too.

    I liked it. It portrayed New York as it was in the early 1970s.
