Welcome Back Denzel and Congradulations!!!

Yes its a True Gangster movie that needed to be told, the only group that can compare to Mr. Frank Lucas now is the Jamacian Posse.  They talk like it was the "Coat" that set his dimise in action, when they know this was still racist America and it was who was on his arm that night. They just stumbled into his Millions and after that it was no way they where going to let a Black Man have all that.  I believe the CIA and the movie writers didnt want everyone to know that it was Nicky Barnes who help brought him down, so they arrest Nicky two years later to make it look official (like they do all snitches eventually) and put him in "Protected Custody" to this day.

I'm with you,

  I was sitting in the theatre thinking the same thing.  It was enough of a slap that this black man couldn't find one black sister in all of Harlem and then for her on the movie to be so unattractive was another slap.  I hope the beauty queen in real life was at least drop dead georgeous.  The reaction of his mother I hope wasn't what we saw in the movie.  She all put bent over and kissed the mexican girl's feet....Oh she was P. Rican right?   He respected his mother but not other black women enough to find a black wife from Harlem.

   Denzel made you like the character, but I'm thinking this brother was murdering us and getting rich.  But the mob does the same thing.  So is it better to be killed by a black man's dope or an Italians or now a Cuban's dope?

    What we all can agree on is that they went after Frank and set up a whole sting because they hated the fact that a black man was winning at this game.  They didn't take down any mobsters and didn't set up a whole task force to take out one of the crime bosses, so why go after the Brother and pay so much money to do it?  And then keep it hidden that he was such a criminal genius?  I mean using the army to transmit dope?  And in 2007 mainstream America is just learning about it?

    I do believe that he was smart enough to hide more money outside his dog's house....Don't you?

I must say that American Ganster was ganster, it was better than what I thought it would be and I also that it was worth watching for real. I am not a big Denzel fan but there are a few movies that I must give him credit for and this is one of them he did the damn thing. I must say that me and my husband really liked it. We spent our last money to see what Denzel had to give to us and we seen it and it was worth it for real. But I think what I liked the most was that he was ganster but not thugged out. He was just straight ganster....

I HAD THE SAME PROB. YOU HAD, THIS MAN HAS ALREADY BLED A COMMUNITY OF HIS OWN PEOPLE DRY, WHY SHOULD THE BLACK COMMUNITY CONTINUE TO BE PIMPED BY HIM? NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN HE'S A SICK OLD MAN, B.S. HE'S STILL A THUG, JUST A HAS BEEN MAN.HE IS SUFFERING FROM A LARGE DOSE OF GODS JUSTICE SYSTEM. AND HOW CAN HE AND THE MAN WHO SO-CALLED BROUGHT HIM DOWN GET SO CHUMMY HMMMMMMMMM. GODFATHER ?,THAT A PLAY ON WORDS IF I EVER HEARD ONE.
