"American Gangster" and "The Untouchables" were the two greatess non-fictional gangster movies ever made, and everyone in both those films blew their parts away! Two must have's for your library!
@Merrida duh white people. the only reason mr. lucas was brought down was the italians pushed roberts to crush him. funk they had mafia testifying waa we got put out the heroin trade by a black man. plain and simple a rich black gangster is more a criminal threat in the united states than a white ,italian and mexican gangster.
I thought the movie was awesome. Cuba & Denzel were very cold in this flick. Cuba was a little creepy, look at his eyes in this movie. Denzel was the same way, especially during the violent scenes.
American Gangster was bomb! every scene was linked to each other and presented in an intelligent way, if it hurts your brain to see it go sell some crack.
this was by the far the worst gangster movie ever. why make a movie about a snitch? Even denzel looked bored in the movie, he just lacked the energy and enthusiasm. The movie was just boring and unoriginal. I couldnt even finish it, i think i watched like half of it.
i agree with you my friend..most people who arent familiar with these actors wont know that crowe is from australia via new zealand and chiwetel ejiofor is british, great actors, its funny because british do american accents real well..while americans dont do british accents so well
wow didn't even no the man hus character is franks bruva was bristish wow nd hu ever sed he was tlkin english is extremely stupid . llool soz but that was pretty dum

Frank The RAt LUCAS sells drugs and becomes a millionare thats because the Italian Mafia doesnt want to take part in selling drugs! Thats why they left Frank Alone but still they tax his sorry ass from selling drugs thats why he didnt got whacked! because if only the italians care about drugs at that time he wont be alive by now the Italians be taking them territory! his a lucky bastard! His not a gangster he still ask protection from italians!
ha emsing2001, sorry that it bothers you that frank lucas is a black man, when it is well documented that all low life murdering gangster are italians, but like you said if they would have wanted frank lucas territory they would have took it, right {rip scarface capone died from complication of syphilis 1947}
its doesn't matter anyway.he is my nigga.. from uk orginal african.. from tribe of igbo..plus . he is good actor.. accent doesn't mean a shit..i love this movie..
People who don't live in L.A. sometimes find this hard to believe, but you will see and interact with celebrities fairly often if you live/work/shop in certain parts of this town.
I don't doubt that the other poster met the cat. I met him myself right after he was nominated for an Oscar years ago.
Before you call either of them a snitch do your research. Nicky Barnes got locked up and his friends/business associates took all of his money and fucked his wife! So if u facing 25-30yrs in prison and your friends taking all your shit and wife you would want to get them back. Frank is far from a snitch he never to a stand
y'all talkin' like you can handle toe pressure when it comes down to the come down, most of you niggaz would probably wouldnt and couldn't even spend an hour in jail without cryin' for you mama, so don't talk like you would have never cooporate with the cops. Give the man some credit.
I see you got an award from BET. Glorifying gangsters is black media attacking the black family. The black family is the single parent and grandparent (mother) for most black people. They are killing our children. Even Frank Lupas regretted that.Males in this industry just want a dollar at any cost and are just as bad as those drug dealers. You are just legal.
What a lot of people don't realize that its apparently easier for foreign actors to do "American" accents and harder for American actors to do foreign accents. Johnny Depp, for example...as great an actor he is, his crack at an english accent is crap! Only exception, crap American accents I've heard were from Jude Law and Jason Statham. TERRIBLE
YES it was crap. I have cousins and have visited the UK numerous times. Okay, maybe its not crap...it's theatre-friendly at best. But I've heard just about every version of the English accent and Depp's doesn't fit any. That was besides my initial point anyway.
I too have been to the UK and I think Depp's accent is solid. Solid enough to be nominated for three Oscars - all for playing characters using British accent.
c'mon stop it, I guess you haven't seen many of the movies that he has done. You too stuck on that negative shit, I guess you get a kick out of seein' other people actin' scarface roles huh?
I think that if Frank lucas had used his over 250 million in raw assets to build a loyal army, and placed thim into the newpaper media, the police, in government and etc, he could've literally run part of new england. a king, only under the rockefellers and other new york based elite.
people had said back in the 70s that black organized crime would become a rival the mafia. but in the end, "snitching" and the lack of loyalty brought them down. the same things that started to bring down the mafia during the same time period.
yeah.. its a catch 22. really sad. if blacks would've unified under that banner and gained prominence through the manipulation of their own people and the subsequent development of a super underclass, we would become much richer but we would really be no better than the whites who shipped in the drugs.
Native LANGUAGE? You mean ENGLISH? You mean the language Chiwetel always speaks? In real life and in film? Chewie's cute, even if he was speaking Latin.
