Move over Don Corleone, Frank Lucas is in town

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2007)

If you are looking for a movie that is fast paced, this is not it. This movie was really show but don't worry, it was a good slow. Denzel Washington keeps making great movies. This time he was a rich man who sold heroin on the streets of New Jersey and Harlem. I loved Russell Crowe's amazing ability to move out of his Aussie accent and into a Jersey accent. Then there was the corrupt cop played by Josh Brolin. Geeze, he sure was mean wasn't he? And he was just in that movie called No Country for Old Men which was also excellent. I sure hope that the commentary is interesting on this movie when the DVD release comes out. One of the climactic scenes was when Denzel and Crowe were pushing the coffee back and fourth across the table. The tension was so thick, you could have cut it with a razorblade!!
