Good flick. I like that they curbed the use of violence. Kinda like they did in the Godfather movies. The movie didn't revolve around it. But when violence showed itself, it was good.

Shit was based on a true story too. That makes it even better.

I got a little scared when I saw that it was over 2 1/2 hours long. Went to see it Saturday and was well worth the $7.50. The movie moved along great, and did not drag like so many long movies tend to do. I thought it was damn good and give it an A-. I wish they would have shown real pictures of the guy at the end, and maybe told what exactly he does now.

Good movie though.

saw it the wkend that it came out and i loved it. denzel is the man! the movie was def. a 9 for me.

the story of Frank Lucas really is amazing, they have a special on it where the real Frank Lucas was interviewed and he pretty much narrates the events in the movie as they happened to him in real life. the man is 70ish and in a wheelchair.

Movie was awesome!!!! I cant beleive the man took it in his own hands to go get the dope, found a way to bring it back, cut it and sell it for half the price of the shit on the streets......and his shit was stronger........the man made a monopoly out of dope!!! legend...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lucas_%28drug_lord%29

"In 1976, he was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Once convicted, Lucas provided evidence that led to the convictions of more than 100 drug-related criminals. His sentence was reduced and changed to parole, so that he was released from prison in 1981. In 1984 he was arrested again and convicted for new drug violations and a parole violation. He received a sentence of seven years and was released from prison in 1991."

good film,but disappointed overall. Did not live up to the hype.I know its a true story but i did not like the way Crowe and Denzel only interact when the plot is almost fully played out,i would have enjoyed a bit more of cat and mouse type chase.

Also it seemed a tiny bit by the numbers,Denzel seemed to rise to power quite easy and be taken down quite easily.

Overall a good film but in the context of top gangster flicks i was a little let down.7.5/10

Great movie! Overall gets an A

I wouldn't have chosen Russel Crowe. I think he comes off very weak at times. Denzel is an A+
