This movie was really strange in how it fell so flat, it had everything goin for it, but nothing worked, it always felt like scenes were cut out that were supposed to be there.
Everything it tried to do has been done much better. Ridley is usually great, but a total nerd when it comes to black culture.
It'll appeal to those who get pretentious about the ganster modern genre, but are clueless to film overall.
I found this to be true as well until I saw the Extended Edition on the DVD. It fills in a lot of gaps that were missing in the original theatrical release.
seen this film and yeah this movie was "pretty sweet" lmao!!! naa i thought this film was amazing best gangster film ive seen in a while really enjoyed it :D
are u guys married to each other cuz u guys sound like u like going to the movies together all the time maybe some tongue in the middle of the movie!!!
He did...he had no choice or it would be life...the police and frank are friendly to each other in real life, the police is now franks attorney. At least they were laughing with each other on the making of the movie. Frank is in a wheel chair now....but he is not doing that mainly because he will be watched for ever because of how clever he was in the wrong type of life style. Even now they tap is phone I am sure.
This movie was such a snooze fest. I know that you guys dug it,but I was bored to tears. But this is coming from a movie geek who really dug 30 Days of Night....which,I am told,was terrible.
They should have had a picture of a junkie going cold turkey in that scene then the subtitle "cold turkey (bad)" then they shud have showed the thanksgiving turkey coming out of the oven at frank lucas's house then the subtitle "warm turkey (good)"
It's a great film but it lacks the Training Day magic.

I just think it's pathetic that they lied about everything in the end to make the murderer Frank Lucas look like a reformer...

Neither of us liked 300, but I thought Sweeney Todd was a small pleasure. AG had a way better story than both of them, though.
