Honesty, Success, Intrepidity, Fierceness!!!!! American Gangster IS the Best Film of the Year--a lot goes on in this one

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2007)

The guy Frank Lucas is a tiger, yet Ritchie Roberts is the lion, the king of an awesome "jungle" of a movie; and to think it all really happened. Foremost Frank Lucas is the quintessential American (works under someone in the trade for 15 years, learns from his mentor's mistake, and GRABS the trade by its horns and revolutionizes the society that borne him.) Ritchie Roberts is equally an American (a guy with a lot of shortcomings who is honest in crucial areas yet dishonest in equally crucial areas). What a film; this will be the next SCARFACE for people in a trade like Frank Lucas. Critics who didn't like this film are completely misinformed--critics are people like us; some are thoughtful others are not thoughtful, we don't know where these critics came from their backgrounds anything. See the movie!
