autumnc
Exciting, but seemed to give only a cursory glimpse of the gangster part of Frank Lucas' life. I expected more violence, I think.

#jonasink
I don't know why this got such praise, pretty lack luster acting and writing, nothing new here either. Period setting and clothes were good though.

sar
Definitely one of my top three favorites of all time. The whole story is amazing; and being based on a true story makes it all the better.

jot
Good film, but I think Denzel's character is a bit idealised.

Deacon
I would say Denzel Washington is a talented actor, yet this movie was too risque for my taste.

guru
This is a satisfyingly good embellished biopic presented as a shabby cop flick. It lacks an edge, but 1970's NY comes across well as gritty and cool.

Different view with great actors and direction. It is not pretty like so many others but it is realistic.

lisek
Film pokazuje skorumpowanych policjantów którzy nie różnią się od przestępców których ścigają.Najbardziej przerażające jest to,że film powstał na.

Nothing seems to happen and yet you are glued to the screen. Almost a documentary at times.

Como o nome já diz, gângster. Não arrume problema com um, senão ele tocará piano com a sua cara.

Shopkeeper
Movie was slow to develop, left too much to fill in and really didn't have a who done it feel. More like a documentary with lots of killing. Not worth the time.

Not just a great story but a great movie. Cool editing, cool soundtrack. Captures the moral ambiguity of Frank Lucas's life. Unreservedly recommended.

Turns "The Untouchables" on its head. Crowe/Washington verbal smackdown at the end alone worth the price of admission.

zenith
Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe both give brilliant performances. A must see movie, though be warned it's quite long. Well worth it though.
+0 3 out of 3 zenith loved it (5 months ago)
Salter
Felt like the longest film I've ever seen, I left the cinema exhausted. Denzel, Crowe and Brolin are great, but it's just too drawn out.

See it to admire the quality of good film-making, not to be entertained.

Not the best gangster movie ever but it's alright...

TyGuy
Denzel Washington continues to impress me with his versatility. Although Russel Crowe plays the good guy, he is overshadowed by Denzel's force of character.

Another show from Denzel!

Onjsko
Good looking, black, heroin dealing, murdering, gangster (Mr Washington) v's good looking, white, shuffling, honest, cop (Mr Crowe). Long and short on tension.

Onormal
This film could be made alot shorter and has some plotholes but it's still a very good movie. Russel is great but Denzel sometimes get too comfortable.

Good mafia-movie entertainment. Denzel Washington good as usual. Interesting story, and well-done image of the 60s, 70s.

Excellent acting, great first half. Being based on RL limits story IMO, still worth a rental.

One of those ones where you don't want to like the protagonist but can't help it then feel a bit guilty ... Denzel is great.
