Comments:
- An outstanding technical copy
- You can’t go wrong when you have guys like Russell Crowe, Ridley Scott & Denzell Washington in one movie. The movie is about the life of a black gangster (Denzell) & of a cop (Crowe) during a critical time in the late 60s to the early 70s. The Vietnam War allowed Denzell’s character to import Heroin thru the US military, thus allowing him to rise up thru the ranks of the criminal underworld. Crowe is the extraordinarily honest cop who eventually brought Denzell down.
- The movie is also quite long, more than 2 hours, but you hardly notice it because there is just too many good things going on in the screen. Denzell & Crowe’s stories are told in parallel, & the 2 don’t meet up face to face up until the last 10 or so minutes in the movie. Lots to drama, suspense, some twists & action here & there.
- Another MUST-HAVE movie, & again, among the best movies of recent times.
