Wayne Dec 8, 2024 Definitely worth watching See more Fro T @frothizzlereviews 10 hrs ago Washington has ice in his veins portraying the real-life crime figure, Frank Lucas. A masterclass performance surrounded by an incredible supporting cast, (Russell Crowe, Armand Assante, Josh Brolin, Cuba Gooding Jr. in an underrated turn as Nicky Barnes, and even Clarence Williams III popping up as Bumpy Johnson). The scene where Denzel shoots Idris Elba dead in broad daylight still makes my skin crawl. “Here ya go. 20 percent.” Common and RZA are decent here, but T.I. sticks out like a sore thumb. Never thought he was a good actor. “Family. Never forget where you came from.” 10/10 See more Alejandro R @AleAliAlea Sep 10, 2026 Confused movie saved by remarkable performances. Frank Lucas and Det Roberts are not the foils the movie wants them to be. With that said, don’t understand what the direction this film took. Perhaps honest portrayals since neither character is hero, villain or antihero. Other than cop and criminal there is nothing that connects the two or at least the film fails to show it. Washington and Crowe are superb! See more Steve H @RT38694750 Aug 26, 2026 True story. Good acting. Entertaining. See more J H @UpstateNYThriller Aug 11, 2026 9/10 Watched in HS history class Story of Frank Lucas and his domination on NY and NJ crack cocaine against the mob See more Nick B @NickBtheHorrorOG Aug 1, 2026 This reminds me of The Departred, except this focuses more on the criminal element, whereas The Departed seems to focus more on the undercover and/or dirty cop storyline. I was actually VERY surprised this was a Ridley Scott film, and not something done by Scorsese. Hell they even used the same parking lot from Goodfellas. I would realistically give this a 9.5/10, but since its a 0-5 scale, I'm all in a at 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See more Read all reviews
