American Gangsta-my weak review

[Smurfy]

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

racist!

This is the first bad review I`ve heard, A former State Senator from Oklahoma and his wife( both in 70`s) said they loved it. They cram those rappers in it to sell movie tickets. How was Denzel`s performance?

denzel was sweet of course, that's to be expected.
and he even looks like frank lucas, google and see for yourself.
like i said though, the editing imo was subpar.
and some of the convos were not comprehensible, muffled and made little sense.
TI's role was stupid, it coulda been much more of the story.
see for yourself, worthwhile not that great

look at a picture of mr.untouchable and compare cuba, they looked nothing alike.
and what was up with the gaye subplots invovling the cop ritchie (russell crowe)? his family shit and his shady friend...they forced those scenes in the movie and i think they failed

ya i mean tahts a movie for ya.. its really hard to depict a true story and make it good for everyone wimminz included..

i think thats the whole purpose of the family shit.

i think nicky barnes was mad flashy thats what they were trying to portay with the film?

scene where denzel pops one in that guys brain in broad daylight was sick you gotta admit that..

I liked it.

You gotta admit going straight to the source was a great idea and took some balls.

He should have quit while he was ahead though

I always root for the gangsta in these movies...
