CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Frank (Denzel Washington) tries to bribe Richie (Russell Crowe) into letting him go free.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Ridley Scott spins this yarn concerning a Harlem drug kingpin (Denzel Washington) who smuggles heroin into the country by hiding it in the bodies of U.S. soldiers killed during battle in Vietnam. There was a time when no one noticed reserved driver Frank Lucas (Washington), but when the criminal kingpin he was charged with transporting through the city streets suddenly dies, Lucas seizes the opportunity to build his own criminal empire. In the following months, Lucas solidifies his status as Harlem's most innovative drug dealer by delivering a product that is purer than the competitors' and cheaper, as well. When innovative businessman Lukas attempts to go semi-legit by becoming one of the Manhattan borough's biggest civil supporters, however, street-savvy outcast cop Ritchie Roberts (Russell Crowe) begins to sense a sizable shift in the hierarchy of the drug underworld. But Roberts is one of the few honest detectives operating within a corrupt system, and as he sets out to investigate the case, crooked detective Trupo (Josh Brolin) does everything in his power to compromise the integrity of his idealistic counterpart. Upon clearing all of the usual Mafia-connected suspects, Roberts begins to believe that a previously unknown black power player has come out of the woodwork to dominate the local drug trade. While Roberts and Lucas may be operating on opposite sides of the law, the one thing that both men have in common is a strict code of ethics that separates them from their opportunistic colleagues. Now, as a confrontation between the two men becomes inevitable and the fate of each becomes inexorably tied to the other, it gradually becomes apparent that only one of them will emerge from the conflict victorious.

“This man murdered thousands of people and he did it from a penthouse, driving a Lincoln” what a powerful sentence. Great writing!
Sounds like tobacco companies, only they kill millions every year and the government says they are ok.
@@bryanjacobs9680 well said! They have the blood of millions on their hands and just like drug dealers yet are lauded as successful businessmen.
@@thewatcheronthewall8532 it's truly incredible how morality and laws are created. The anti drug people love saying "drugs kill thousands of people". Like, are we living in the same world?
sounds like any US politician, but the kill count is way more higher though
@@thewatcheronthewall8532 people have will power, they can just not buy the drugs.. it always baffles me how little people know of their own personal power an just blame it on others.. ive been called and idealist so what i wrote isn’t realistic
This isn't a scene between two actors... It's a heavyweight championship fight.
I love when scene like that happens.
The Hurricane vs Cinderella Man
Russel Crow is more like the water boy in a ring.
Russell Crowe not even close to being in same league
You should see these two in that movie “Virtuosity” where they switch roles. Russel is a psychopath in that movie and Denzel is the good cop
The way Denzel portrayed Frank Lucas in this film made me think that the real Frank Lucas could have been highly successful in an honest profession. That's how intelligent he was. Instead, he CHOSE to be a drug dealer and murderer.
+Livingston Hampton Maybe, maybe not. A lot of BS was going on during that period. No doubt though, Denzel's portrayal of Frank Lucas does make you believe that he was in fact a very intelligent man.
+Livingston Hampton I believe the real investigators who caught Frank Lucas actually expressed a lot of annoyance at how Denzel portrayed him and said this version was everything but what the real Frank Lucas was-namely a semi-literate thug.
nah. the real frank lucas was nowhere as respectable
its the lure of the fast buck frank lucas was coniving and clever enough to work the system in his favor in part due too his mentor but if he was really intelligent as you said he would of learned to parlay his skills into legit business dealings money n power corrupt people .
Livingston Hampton a major message of the film was also to illustrate how it was difficult for black people to rise up in the legitimate and illicit trades. Lucas was the exception at that time, which was what made him remarkable, albeit morally unscrupulous
Two legends portraying two other legends. A masterpiece this was.
Labelling a man who took advantage of his own people and pushed drugs on them a legend? The world has you spun round don’t it
Two actors of highest caliber and talent!
"Would you do it again?"
best line - so powerful and well delivered.
"I know this guy once turned in a million dollars out of a sense of duty. Lets try and bribe him with a million dollars." Yeah, worked out great for you, Frank.
He was out of moves. Basically his only option.
he had to at least try man
Worth a try probably
It’s a smart move in his position, he was attempting to appeal to his regret. He figured that since he turned it in and received absolutely nothing for it he would be regretful of his decision and would be more willing to accept the second time around. Frank’s issue was he found the only clean detective in a sea of dirty ones.
It wasn't only a desperation move. Russel's character could be in agony for that decision since then. He could turn into a cynical man. Denzel's character wouldn't know , so it was a real possibility for him.
This is the movie Denzel should have won a best Actor award for
Malcolm x
Training Day was impeccable acting. Rightfully deserved.
Hell should have got all the awards for that movie lol
Crowe deserved to win one too. Even with how well this movie is regarded, i'd still say it's underrated.
No way. Training Day showed his ability to step outside of his comfort zone and play not just a villain but also one you truly hate.
All I want in life is for Denzel to look at me and say 'my man'
Lol he said, " I got witnesses too, I got celebrites, I got sports figure -- I got Harlem. I took care of Harlem -- so Harlem is gonna take care me, you can believe that".
selfish cunts
Edsta 101 Spoken like a Donald Trump personality lining up paid witnesses to lie from bribes given over the years. Hope Hicks admitted it!
Interesting how you'll say that about Trump, yet you don't seem to be alarmed that Hillary spent more on her campaign than Trump, even though Hillary has $45 million and Trump has $3 billion, $1 billion was spent on Hillary's campaign compared to Trumps $600 million. I wonder what bribes she took to get that much? Doesn't really align with your bias though does it? The hypocrisy and childish outrage from the left only turns people away from the Democratic party. Interesting to note that the democratic party got it's name because most people wanted slaves, so they felt it was 'democratic'. Democrats try to rationalize by claiming parties somehow 'swapped'. Must've happened just after almost every democrat in congress voted against the Civil Rights Act, eh?
weird how most trump supporters think that everyone whos against trump loves Hillary
It's the everloving truth.
I really like russel crowe's reaction to being asked if he returned the million. He really sends out an embarrassed, nervous, and awkward vibe. The way he fidgets, looks around, and cuts him off. I really get the sense that so many people in his life have looked at him as crazy and naive and a part of him may even agree. When denzel cynically tells him that someone else took the money, russel doesn't hold his ground saying something like, "you can't know that", I think he fully acknowledges that it could be true that returning the money only lead to another crooked cop getting it.
Quite a self-projection there
Denzel face change when he talks about harlem...just depicts a great actor 👌🏾
Fun fact this is actually the second time Russell crow and Denzel wishington have been in a movie together the first was a scifi movie by the name of virtuosity
"How's the wife n kid? Still dead, huh? That's reality for ya." Great flick
Hmmmm guess you learn something new everyday .
Denzel and Russell should do another film together. This was epic
These two make history on screen together
Russel Crowe is one of the greatest actors of our time. He owns every role that he takes on. We all know he was the gladiator, but we don’t just know him from Gladiator. In this film he is a little more timid, a little green, honest maybe even to a fault and you feel it. Him and Denzel are a perfect mix.
I've always thought Master and Commander was his best film. I would've gone to war for his Jack Aubrey
Crowe is one of our finest (Washington is too obvious to bot say that). I wonder who remembers this is their second go together.
Fact: 12 years prior to this film, Washington and Crowe starred in the 1995 sci-fi film Virtuosity, only the roles of protagonist & antagonist were reversed, with Denzel playing the former (LAPD Det. Parker Barnes) and Russell playing the latter (SID 6.7).
Denzel Washington the better actor
@@Jon.A.Scholt Agree. Master & Commander is an underrated masterpiece.
When he offers him the bribe, that my friends is what is called morals and values. No higher form of respect for the guy that gets out of bed everyday and just does the right thing. Half the battle IS getting out of bed in the morning.
Well said and if someone’s got the other half clear, then the first half of waking up for the call of honest duty will fall in line.
Denzel is one of the greatest of all time. He knows his profession.
What makes this scene so great is that they are both right
This reminded me of the scene in wolf of wall street when he tried to bribe the agent and the agent regretted it
The Big Man “ can you say that again? Just the way you said it “. 😂😅
If you mean the ending, where the agent is stuck on the train home with other poor people, I didn't interpret it as the agent's regret at not taking the bribe. I saw it as regret that he brought Jordan Belfort, a self-made formerly poor man, back down to everyone else's level. But it's kept vague for a reason.
I'd say this story is showing that he probably took the bribe, I mean he offers him a good deal bit later
I really gotta envy Russell Crowe! Getting Denzel motherfucking Washington to call you "My man." is a career achievement!
I like watching this scene because they worked together in a movie in mid 90's and here they are again. Haha classic Russell Crowe face at one min 10 sec when Frank ' Richie, youre no better, you the same as those other cops.'
+mark gallagher VIRTUOSITY Russell played a computer serial killer program comprised of likeness of many different killers and escaping from the Virtual world coming into the real world Denzel was the cop trying to catch him
Yes, Virtuosity. One of the rare Russell roles where he gets to be wacky. He wears a purple suit and a lot of hair gel. lolll. The movie is crap, but Russell is worth watching.
Lucas: You know Johnny Law Got It Though,...Right!?.
Roberts: Maybe..
Lucas: There Ain't No Maybe About It,...You Know He Got It!!..
Lucas: You Turned That Money In, He Took It,...And You Ain't Getting Nothing For It,...Did 'Ja?.....Why'd You Do That??
Absolutely great introduction to the 1-on-1 investigation between Roberts vs Lucas. Or Lucas vs. Roberts. I initially wondered who was interrogating whom? Great cohesion between Denzel and Russell during this scene.
Roberts was initially a bit wet behind the ears on being a prosecuting lawyer. And it definitely seemed as if Lucas was taking advantage of this fact. Roberts interrogation skills were on par. But it was very unique in the fact that Roberts was wearing two hats also a prosecutor. That seems to be rare. But it most likely happened. I was glad to see the good portrayal of someone like Roberts going through the hard work on studying through college on obtaining his degree to become a lawyer despite working full time as a police detective.
I primarily enjoyed this scene the most in the movie. Although it's loosely portrayed as a true story. And of course this scene may not indeed be totally accurate on how the interrogation really went down. I finally enjoyed what the movie finally meant as Frank Lucas was finally brought to justice by Richie Roberts and sent to prison. Despite the fact that only Roberts' supervisor and his partners were among the very few that believed in Roberts investigation of Lucas as being the very top organized criminal in distributing heroin throughout the NYC area.
This was the classic example of despite the fact that it always seems that the criminal gangster knows how to call the shots. And quite a few corrupt cops are in the take, good can prevail against criminal corruption. This movie and era seems to have coincided with Frank Serpico as well when he also helped take down many corrupt cops within the NYPD
Scott is a genius, ain't he?
Todd Sands wow you sure love to type
Great way to phrase it. Great movie.
I love how little both men blink in this scene. Each totally confident in their position of power against the other.
Love the Harlem line
The real frank lucas snitched to get less prison time
That's in the film dumbass
snoopyrawdogg The movie makes it seem like he only snitched on cops. Pure bullshit, Frank Lucas snitched on everyone. After he got out the feds had to protect him because of his snitching.
+EasySnake what, you mean the scene where he openly offers to snitch against any gangsters that the feds want? that was too subtle a way to say that he snitched on other gangsters?
he snitched to fuck up the same people who got him fucked up and most of them are cops. fool
+EasySnake ...he snitched in the movie also. obviously you didnt see the whole movie but the YT videos only. so stfu
"I took care of Harlem, so Harlems gonna take care of me you can believe that." Goddamn that caliber of acting.
"I took care of Harlem, so Harlem's gonna take care of me."
LEGENDARY LINE
a snitch and powder. he doesn't need more than that.
I like how he told Frank to get in line and he got back up line up too which means Frank met his match.Their both badasses Fire Vs Fire!🔥💪🏼💣
“Murdah, RAcketeering”
Great performance by the wickedly talented, one and only, Denzel Dazeem.
😂😂
Denzel is phenomenal in this movie! Near to Training Day!
I swear this is Joker and Batman Dark Knight just in the 70s setting with Denzel and Crowe.
They need to make a Frank Matthew movie now. That man was different.
This is a brilliant scene. The whole thing.
Denzel allegedly got 40 mil for this film 👀
obi was here that’s never true. Isn’t it?
@@GK-iw6lj Apparently it is true. The film was being produced and the first production was cancelled. Since Denzel was on a Pay Or Play contract, he got $20m regardless. It's safe to assume that he had the same pay packet when the film was resurrected and he was cast to co-star again. Not $40m in one sitting but $40m overall.
In that case it's good that he stayed loyal to the project. Plenty of other A-listers would have given up and picked up their next paycheque on a fresh challenge rather than risking being part of the same movie twice.
SalemGhassanHanna I still think he would’ve played a better peewee Kirkland
Yeah he did
Yep. Here he is showing he is NOT like them because he admitted to himself in court that he's corrupt to his family/marriage, and yet he still chooses to do the right thing. He may not be as angelic as he thought he was, but he's got a goodness in him that is undeniable.
Yeah Harlem took care of him, sure.
slank58958 man made millions off of Harlem money
A lot of people shit on this movie but I thought it was great
Bob Smith i have never heard anyone shit on this film
Mason Licona it doesn’t happen lol too much of a respected film
Bob Smith really? I’ve heard nothing but amazing things for this movie, literally one of my all time favourites
Who?
definitely better than gotti..
100 times watching this mad movie won't get bored of it man
2 great actors. What a movie!
2:05 Lol back when driving a Lincoln meant something
Till this day i wonder why did richie turn that money in to johnny law 😂he would have never got caught
It's so hard not to root for Denzel.
It is simply a crime that these two have only ever been in two movies together.
I need to watch this movie again. It's just so damn good.
Denzel is such an amazing actor
Denzel killed this scene ! Like a pro 🔥
Lucas's biggest mistake was... going up against the 5 families.
Joker and batman conversation and this favourite of me
“I took care of Harlem so Harlem’s gonna take care of me” Savage👌”I got hundreds/thousands of addicts & parents of overdosed children that’s gonna back me” Even More Savage👌👌
1:14 Frank was right. In the end Richie ended up being exposed as a liar and thief who stole from his clients and got 5 years probation to show for it.
And even got the white guy punishment 🤦
2:02 Frank gave the Sackler family some ideas.
You did that foreal huh my man good for you 😂😂
Great scene! They were fantastic acting together for each being on the other sides of the fences!
this film was made a year before the dark knight ^_^
Jose Barreto nah
just thisguy yes
But 12 years after Heat!
12 years after Usual Suspects
12 years after Casino
The voice of russell crowe is ASMR in this scene....
Two of my favourite actors ever.
To this day Frank Lucas is a free man...
Russell Crowe reminds me of Ben McKenzie with their similar features and brooding. They need to be in a movie together
“You da same as them... you’re them” 😔
I find it funny how a good director or writer can make you cheer for the bad guy. A good example is Darth Vader, because everyone cheers when he enters the room. Another example is Clyde in Law Abiding Citizen (there's a big difference though, and one might argue that Clyde actually is a good guy).
It's crazy how there are more movie and acting experts in the comment section than there is in Hollywood
It was the truth tho denzel is the best hands down
One of the greatest movie ever made...
Solid men on his word .. also solid to his family and god .. at the end clean thoughts and conciousness
This kinda reminds me of the Dark Knight interrgation scene just they change the line 'you're not like them' to 'you're just the same as them.'
👍🏼👍🏼
Jimmy Hoffa is a money counting machine. IRS got Jimmy
Denzel Washington makes me believe in every character he portrays
0:55 thats a very very very nice suit.
no... 1 million back then was like 5 million today. Not 100
It's always bugged me that Denzel drinks from an obviously empty cup. You can hear that it's empty when he sets it down. You can see the light through it on the reverse angle. Such a small nitpicky thing, but it always takes me out of the scene.
i have to say you're right about the cup,but it's the PRINCIPAL behind the cup,as in,here's what i offer you,what can you offer me.It comes a lil bit later in the conversation,think of it like a poker chip,at least that's how i saw it.peace.
I sometimes drink from empty cup while talking in public.
I sometimes drink from empty cup while talking in public.
Ether a metaphor or a compulsive thing. Metaphor being Denzel ain't have nothing but bluff to offering his way out. Compulsive could be Denzel feeling the heat and act on nervousness.
sound dumb
Rest In Peace Frank lucas
2 iconic actors
This was a really good movie plain and simple
You took care of your community then the community gonna take care of you
"They gonna steal from it, they gonna die for it".
I think this was a mistake, but I'm glad they kept it in. People flub things like this in normal discussion all the time.
The graceful charity card
He tried bribing him and threatening him. Ritchie didn't flinch.
He talked about his cousin being a snitch yet he went out and snitched himself. Don't make sense
"No thanks" - "No thanks? What that mean, hm!? I think you too scared of eatin"
Being an honest cop is more honest than a crooked cop.
"King Kong ain't got s#@t on me". Oh wait... wrong movie...lol
My man good for you 😂
If I find a million ANYTHING I’m not telling nothing I ain’t even goin to let my mind register it all the way
Watching this film in the theater, I realized: It was utterly rational for the character Frank Lucas in this film to become a drug kingpin. Why not?
I took care of Harlem So Harlem Is Gonna Take Care Of ME You Can Believe That
Love Denzels voice
Training Day vibes in this scene.
That was a really nice cut to the courtroom scene.. “BRIBERY, extortion..”
"That was the right thing to do" That was dumd and beautiful
They didn’t show the part where thanos killed him self to stop endgame from happening
2:07 that must be a pretty big penthouse to drive a Lincoln around in it
@stefan stefanovic well, unless he was driving in a straight line 😂😂
“It’s the right thing to do.”
He doesn’t know what’s right or wrong. He just gave the PD that money when they systematically hire people to sell drugs in the streets. It’s sad how naive a “good cop” is.
Really goes to show the mentality of criminals, no empathy whatsoever.
just realised that the cups have handles. haha
Denzel Washington was friend of Tony Scott, work with he in 5 of your movies, now in 2007 work with the Brother, Ridley Scott in American Gangster.
Wow
Harlem took care of Frank alright.
They sent him to prison for 15 years.
I think he got released early.
I don't think Harlem did take care of him
