American Gangsta-my weak review

[binö]

meh, this movie was sloppy. It could've been a lot better had the editing been tighter. Like TI's role, why did they cram that in their? they never fleshed out his character. same with cuba, who the fuck was he supposed to be?
even worse are the historical inaccuracies...i felt that the movie attempted to become the next godfather and failed misreably. frank lucas was a pwn in the drug game, he had to pay off genovesse wiseguys in order to run his game. the movie made it out to seem like he was calling the shots when the facts indicate otherwise.
I think it's funny how all the rappers are on this movie's nuts. Gotta face the facts boys, you're not the mafia and will never have mafia type of clout, no matter how much you make believe.
2 outta 4 stars

of course the movie glossed over that fact, made it seem like he only snitched on cops/wiseguys.
in reality, he snitched on everybody.
can't blame a guy for that, you and i would have as well.
i find it lol how much rappers wanna be carlo gambino/vito corleone.

ya I may rent it and span it out to a 3 day adventure.. I don't have the attention span to do it.. I like the hour and a half movies, I can't sit still for 3 hours.. unless layind down or something a lot more comfortable than theatre chairs!

the worst part about this movie is that their were a few scenes were i couldn't understand a fuggin word. it was muffled and incomprehensible.
and it wasn't hard to understand slang, clear english.
just piss-poor production

it's worth watching, but it's not that great.
i bet you'll agree

I know the story already so the movie would probably suck

i hear during his prime he made a million dollars a day smuggling heroin to the states
