  • What’s happening in this American Gangster movie clip?
    Frank (Denzel Washington from The Equalizer and Malcolm X) comes to see Nicky (Cuba Gooding from What dreams may come) to ask him to stop diluting the brand, or at least put another name on the merchandise. Nicky is upset to be treated like that in his own club. Later, Huey (Chiwetel Ejiofor from Doctor Strange and Inside Man) and Frank are arrested by the cops, whereas they have merchandise in the trunk. The cops accept to say nothing because Frank gives them money. Other cops are watching the scene.

    What’s the American Gangster movie about?
    Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington from The Equalizer and Malcolm X) decides to take over his boss's business after he died. He becomes a powerful drug dealer, who manages to overcome the American mafia thanks to a new strategy: he starts selling heroin directly imported from Vietnam half the price of other dealers, while his quality is much higher. This drug, Blue Magic, is making its success. But Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe from Gladiator and Man of Steel), a New York cop who lost his teammate to an overdose, is going to try to bring him down.

      With respect to Mr. Washington, there is NO denying that he is a GOOD actor but, the reason he is compared to Sidney Poitier is the fact that both men carry themselves in a way that says: Respect. Neither one of them demands nor asks for our respect, they just exude it. Neither is a braggart that demands attention or an absent minded fool, bumbling along.

      Works surprisingly well in real life aswell... if someone is trying to intimidate you, and you have the balls to give a freezing stare and throw back 10x more intimidating line, usually you can see in someone's eyes (or any reaction) if it seriously hit them... And after it hits them, you know you have it in control.

      A true gangster would have been understanding the situation real quick and would have come with something better than “I buy it, i own it” as he should have known that even in commerce you would be unable to buy 100 bottles of pepsi, mix it with fanta and then selling them as Pepsi. It’s just good logic that helps avoiding chaos, which every true gangster needs and should want to follow. That makes the difference between a Don and a mindless criminal.

    An extremely legend of a film, that should be known even more, and receive more credits for its dynamics. Such an amazing storyline, characters, soundtrack and led by two legendary actors, Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe who brought so much emotion, and action to it. What makes the film even greater is the many lessons and lines that are brought up, and what's even greater is how it's based on a true story. Honestly, worth watching no matter what. Had watched this on my birthday years back, and really an unforgettable film, that till this day I have never forgotten about. Don't want to spoil much, but its a must-see. 4.19.2020

      Real story some may remember. The shooter was the father of a boy sexually abused by the prisoner and he didn't think the sentence handed out was enough so he took care of him himself (ruining his life then too).

Name a actor or actress that can compare to greats like Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Mel Gibson as controversy as he is you can’t take away the fact he is a good actor. Morgan Freeman, etc. It seems Hollywood and even the music industry are more focused on how a person looks face and body wise but I would say 95% of your best actors and actresses were regular average looking people but had beautiful seasoned acting skills.

    What an extraordinary performance by Denzel in this legendary film … In this scene sigma says a very important rule which is « if you about to fall down use your last bullet »

    He owns every scene. De Niro & Washington 2 of my favourites.
