That's exactly what I thought. No need for 3 hours. For example, the scene where he first enters the old Vegas casino, there's a scene of him slowly walking through a dark cluttered area. He's approaching the camera. I swear it takes a full 2 minutes, him just slowly walking though this area. I stick to my time-honored belief: the original "Star Wars" was almost exactly 2 hours long. If you can tell that story in 2 hours, you can tell any story in 2 hours. Shit, I remember when "Gandhi" came out in the theaters, they had to put an intermission in it because people weren't used to 3 hour movies. Now, thanks mostly to Peter Jackson and his 153 hours of "LOTR", people think 3 hours is a perfectly reasonable length of time for a movie.
