BrettHarrison's Review

Summary - Good 3.0 click to collapse contents 

The “Cotton Club” is one and and a half performances away from being a very good for great movie, but as they say “If my grandma had wheels, she’d have a trolley”. Well that’s not quite accurate but overall it is a very appealing, ambitious movie that is marred by a very over the top performance by James Remar as Dutch Schultz and some business that’s a little too “Godfathery”.Also Richard Gere stars off a little shakey but when he’s given less to do, he gets better. If that makes any sense. So maybe it’s Coppola’s fault for not knowing how to use his actors.
