American Gangster - OR - Ridley Scott's "MC Hammer: Put this Money Out!"

It was a decent flick - but a little long winded for what it delivered.

Denzel was awesome.

Perfect account of why you dont bring in yer hillbilly family from NC to run your heroin distro operation.

The part where he wears that pimp fur suit and all of the cops notice him was brill!

NEVER involve family/friends in business. They will fail and you will regret it and hate them.

The scene where he calls dcharlie in NamViet to try to order some H one last time was a tear-jerker

The way he declares "Im going to fly over there" at the end of the call was endearing.

EDIT: oh yeah I thought Crowe was >ok< - the hair cracked me up, but he kinda reminded me of Jeff Bridges in The Vanishing (no drunk)

I love Crowe in that movie. He's a kickass guy. From the civilian clothes bust near the beginning to the massive drug bust near the end, he does some really kick ass shit, and his accent was pretty entertaining.
