American Gangster

Post by Lion »

This movie sounds like is going to be a good one.  Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe are in it. Now Cuba Gooding Jr. is in this as well, this is the movie for him to redeem himslef from all the crappy movies he has made in the past few years.

A drug dealer named Frank "Superfly" Lucas.  Check out this article (or look for the article called "Return of Superfly") http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/features/3649/

Theres no doubt that this is going to be good.  Has there ever been a movie with Denzel Washington that was bad, I don't think so.  EVen the music in the trailer gets me pumped.

Yeah I saw this movie myself.  I always found it fascinating how when one watches crime movies, you cannot help but sympathize with the so called "anti-hero:.  Its ironic, because, their the ones who put the drugs on the streets, killing kids who overdose on it, and make the neighborhood worse than it already is.  Yet, somehow you still can help but be drawn to that character.  I guess you figure that, there not making peoples lives a living hell, people choose to buy the "blue magic".  What a world where coming to, where some police are corrupt, and the crimminals are the ones you sympathize with.  I think thats what makes this film so interesting, to see things from Frank Lucas's point of view.
