I loved Denzel in this film. I agree that it takes a lot from other gangster films, but I was in the mood to see a good mobster flick at the time so I didn't care. The movie is pretty long but you don't really notice that since the story flows so well. I agree that I wish they would have went more into Frank's life, but nonetheless I still loved it. I recently just saw a epic Gangster film set in the Congo called Viva Riva. I think you should do a review for it. vivarivamovie. Com
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!
uhh, they were into drugs... In fact, in real life, Frank actrually got some of his drugs from the mafia. They just didnt get it straight from southeast asia like he did.
FRANK didnt sold the DRUGS to the MAFIA dumbfuck! FRANK SOLD it to his own POEPLE... During FRANK LUCAS time lots of BLACK ADDICTS in HARLEM.. look it up..Dont open your mouth and say shit...HE SOLD it to BLACK PEOPLE and it made HARLEM look like HELL!
Great film but it really does have a resemblance to the French connection cuz of the time period and russell crowe's character

Josh Brolin's incredible in this. He turns up in that moustache and coat, speaks in a low whisper, and is immediately terrifying.

Did you ever saw the Godfather?
No chance in hell man
This Movie was good, but Godfather is just perfect and when you leave the cinema, you just want to see it again.
