Just finished watching this, and I have to say I was really impressed. I watched the 3 hour uncut version, and found it pretty addictive. I had
never heard of the man played by Denzel Washington, and I'm shocked and amazed at how huge his operation was. Fucking scary if you think about it.
Also, his affect on the NYPD was also quite impressive and well-needed. Good flick overall.Dave - 3-2-2008 at 12:57 AM

good movie, but it was factually inaccurate. They took liberties with alot of shit when writing the screenplay.Discipline - 3-2-2008 at 11:25 AM

I know that's the case, as often happens in Hollywood. But than I did some reading on the guy, and what he did is still pretty damn impressive.Spoiler - 3-2-2008 at 11:49 AM

Not a very good looking HD-DVD but a pretty good movie.BKT - 3-3-2008 at 03:11 PM
meh, that movie was not really that good. I can't take a gangster movie seriously if the head guy does not scare me and Washington is a goof ball.

He was great in "Training Day" though I haven't seen "American Gangster"...upyerbum - 3-5-2008 at 09:12 PM
Both of the actual dudes were consultants on the movie. The cop actually pays for the cons kid to go to private school in "real" life. The cop's a
lawyer now. They're actually close friends now.
