There is something about American Gangster that caught my attention–both protagonist went for their own versions of the American dream and did it.  Denzel Washington did an excellent job portraying Frank Lucas.  His actions for the most part were along the line, in my opinion, with the exception of him shooting the guy in the head and the time he bashed his cousin’s head with the piano.  Great irony when he told his brother not to wear anything flashy and in the following scenes, he gets spotted out because he wore the flashy fur jacket his girl got him. 

“Most important thing in business is honesty, integrity, hard work, family. 
Never forget where we came from.” - Frank Lucas

I think what made this movie really good was the music behind it, especially the trailer.  Jay
Z - Heart of the City was a great song for the trailers.

American Gangster…


… No, Just kidding.  It is just a picture of myself that I thought was good.
