I ask because it took me five years to get a hold of this movie--which was made quite a few years ago. It should have been great (Diane Lane, Richard Gere, Gregory Hines, Nicholas Cage + a Francis Coppola film). It was about the Roaring 20s (which I love) in Harlem, NY--crime, romance +. That's why I wanted to see it.
Now that I have, it was nothing like I expected--I was quite disappointed. It was no "The Great Gatsby," and it was no "Chicago."

pipi08_2000: Back in the 20s, both Black & White people lived in Harlem. White mobsters ruled... everywhere, and took advantage of the normal people within all races.

Were you expecting something like Harlem Nights? Not all the movies about the 20's and Harlem are comedies like that one. The Cotton Club was a good movie, but in my opinioin, too many white people to be authentic.
Try Cotton Comes to Harlem.

Some movies do that they are sooo disappointing. It's not what you expect at all. I hate that. I went to see Transformers and some of the content was inappropriate I was embrassed for my nephew.
