this be a movie i could not wait to see . so i finally get it and i be pretty disappointed . for starter and the movie have so little say about new york and just a bunch of confuse shot of building and street and bridge and cafe . it really doesn not stay focus on the new york magic . another thing that change my mind be the french movie set inside this movie . i know that it be a remake and but it be not a french style remake . anyway and here you will notice element that remind you of french movie and such a long and messy scene and no or little talk and of course everyone be smoke french style . the story follow many life ( too many for my taste ) and they somehow seem connect in the end . i feel like there be no dedication to the character as much a there be on the story . the movie be too short to cover every single destiny everyone happy end . so we can see about 30 people for about 5 minute each . and there you have your 120 minute . if you like active scene dialogue and stuff this be not the movie for you . i give it 4 just because i love new york and i love the cast .
