Starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.


Well, who's seen it?

Good/Bad/Other?


(I'm going tonight to the late show.)

I saw the trailer when I watched Eastern Promises the other day.

It looks pretty good, I think I will go watch it. It isn't out here until the 16th.

Nice movie though I think it would be nice to see more action especially because the movie is 2hrs and 36minutes long, anyway a must see, fine movie with quality actors and a strong storyline.

Also there are strange feelings about the protagonists in this movie you really don't know which one do you like or not or for which one do you cheer for, there are other subjects but lets wait for more ppl who saw it then we could argue a little.

I screened it Thursday night, incredible film. It was one of the few films that has a long run time that is NECESSARY to do the story justice. It kept me intrigued the entire time. Just great, well rounded storytelling.

It's Ridley Scott..you shouldn't expect any less.

I've seen this. Denzel fives an oscar worthy performance. Good film. Crowe is very very goos also.

Excellent movie. Another Ridley Scott masterpiece

God, this movie was excellent.

Darn it, I didn't get to go today or last night.

I'll have to check it out on Sunday afternoon.


Glad to hear all of the positive responses!

although it was a bit tame, but it was a kick ass movie. i was actually cheering for denzel even though i knew what the ending would be. wierd thing was i was watching the history channel about frank lucas (denzel's character) night before i saw the movie.

not released at my cinema til next week I think. Its on my to see list anyways so I'll write what I think of it next week.

LOOK alright,

Excellent movie. A must see. I was rooting for Denzel's character the whole time even though I knew how'll end.

I saw the special on BET(American Gangster). Frank Lucas looks like a shadow of his former self. Richie Roberts didnt look that old, he seem like a cool guy.

i wish the movie showed more of lucas being a gangster. most of the time, the movie showed him as a businessman. the beginning of the film kinda promised a lot of violent deaths that never come. on the other hand, that is what makes the movie more impressive because even if there aren't a lot of gratuitous violence, the movie sucks you right in.

I've heard a lot of good things about this film from my friends.

I might have to go see it.

Saw it tonight with the wife.


An excellent movie, 5/5.


I really enjoyed it.

Great movie. Well acted, written and directed. Josh Brolin steals every scene he's in.

I think I will go see this movie right now.

Pretty grand, but no masterpiece.

I liked it a lot. I also enjoyed seeing RZA and Common. Ridley Scott is a pretty hit/miss guy for me. He hit this one. Great film.

Thought it was a great movie. As someone mentioned, there wasnt all that much action, but the plot was so intricate and compelling that Im not complaining.

Dude, your sig just freaked me out.

Saw this yesterday.

Needless to say, I thought it was awesome. Denzel Washington was top notch.

Saw it last night with my father.

Loved it.

Freakin awesome....I love Denzel Washington. Some of the scenes disturbed me a little bit but it was still good.

just got it on dvd, it is very well acted and there is just the right amount of violence to where that isnt the main focus of the movie

great film

Eh, I got a bootleg from my Uncle, who works with people who discuss who should get Oscars. The video quality is perfect.

Lucky ducks.

Great movie.

i get my dvds from this guy at work

perfect quality, you cant tell AT ALL that its a bootleg

i actually just got the mist on dvd, whixh doesnt come out for another 2 weeks.

I gotta say, from reading other posts in this thread I thought this movie was spoiled for me. I thought Denzel was going to die or something, I was surprized to find out that Denzel does go down in the end, but . . . the fact that Russel Crowe's character becomes a defense attorney and his first client is Frank Lucas, that was awesome.Going into this movie, I didn't know anything about Frank Lucas, so that was kinda nice.

I KNOW! When I saw that Crowe became Washington's defense attorney, I had the biggest smile, it was so awesome. Truly loved it. I have to admit I want to do some research on Frank Lucas now.

Ridley Scott sure can make a f***ing movie. Hmm, new thread idea!

Just saw this today and it was pretty good. Alot of nudity but wasn't that much violence as I wanted it to be. I think it's crazy how Lucas went all the way to Vietnam to get this stuff.

hey, look what it did for him

a few trips to Vietnam and he was as rich as anyone could want to be

Great story. Still debating if it was Denzel's best role to date.

It didn't have that much nudity. Well, it had a lot of indirect nudity.

It didn't have that much nudity. Yes it did.

Was okay.

All I remember was the girls working with the drugs were naked, but that's just so they wouldn't steal any. It's not like it was sexual nudity....

But you never see his attorney's stuff though, right? It just shows them totally getting at it.....but no money shot...

theres a scene of him in bed with her when his partner calls asking for help there is a brief shot of her breast aweswome movie regardless in my top ten of all time

Best film of 2007? I think so.

Just got this on dvd and watched it last night for the second time.

Definitely not the best film of 2007, but it was a great movie imo.

What do you think is the best film of 07?

Personally, I thought No Country for Old Men was the best.
