Day Ten: American Gangster

Last night we went to see American Gangster, the new Denzel Washington flick about Frank Lucas, an African-American drug lord in Harlem.
It wasn’t chock full of action, although there were some action scenes, and they took their time with the plot, but I’m glad they did, because you got details, and details are good in my opinion. It was one of the better low-action dramas I’ve seen in awhile. Convincing characters who were decently developed, intelligent scheming, etc.
The movie was good. Really good, in my opinion.
Let’s just say I didn’t realize that two hours and forty minutes had passed when the movie ended, and I never once felt like asking Dominic what time it was in order to ascertain how much longer I would have to sit there.
Go see the movie, tell me what you think.
(Interested in other historical movies about drug trafficking in America? Check out Blow).
cool, glad you liked it. i want to go see it but have heard mixed reviews...
