Rise and Fall of Frank Lucas

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2007)

The movie is a very good depiction on the rise and fall of Mr. Lucas. Anyone who has read anything about the life of Lucas would agree that Denzel Washington did a wonderful job portraying his character. It's one of the better gangster movies I've seen in a long time. Based on true events, the movie is very well written and performed. I don't understand how people can say it was horrible. It's based on true events, which can't be taken too far out of context or it will lose it's truth. All of the actors and actresses did an exceptional job. The movie was a bit lengthy, but it had to tell it's story, which it did very well. I really enjoyed the movie and look forward to owning it when it comes out on DVD.
