Anyone noticed the mics at the top of the screen during this one?

I noticed it in at least 2 scenes.

A good but not great movie.

Sounds like the projectionist misframed it.

No mics when I saw it today.
I also agree, good not great.

Is that tiny bit after the credits (which is also shown in the trailer) supposed to be tied into any part of the movie in particular?

At 160 minutes, I didn't stick around to the very end because the rent was due on the soft drink I consumed, but if you spoilerize the tidbit, I'll let you know.

You hear footsteps. Frank walks in shadow toward the camera, and when he shoots, the flash makes him visible.

Yes, it plays after the credits then the screen goes black.

My guess is that it's just supposed to be a talking point for those who stay through the credits. It comes right after the film's title at the end, so it gives us a visual representation of the American gangster. It's definitely not as cool as the undead monkey from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

I thought it was more akin to the end of "The Great Train Robbery" as in what Scorsese did in "Goodfellas", maybe? Good flick though.
