not bad, but it is almost like it was missing something


I felt the same way. I wanted to love the movie but as you said, something was just missing. I couldn't put my finger on it but it didn't blow me away like I thought it would/should have


I thought the best part was the Thanksgiving scene: Frank Lucas dealing with his enemies, crosscut with him carving up the turkey. It owes so much to the Baptism scene in GF 1, it's not even fair.
