I watched this movie off and on for two days. I finally finished it and that's only because I'm on vacation. I probably never would have completed the movie had I been working this week, it was just that boring.
I didn't know the history of New York so it may have been more interesting being that it supposedly is based on a true story.
If you have anything better to do, such as watching the paint on the wall crack, or perhaps stand at your window and watching the grass grow, I recommend anything other than wasting almost three hours of your life watching this movie.
I'm flabbergasted there are any 5 star reviews of this movie.
