.A
movie that some are saying will rival that of The Godfather and Goodfellas.True story of a Harlem
drug dealer,Frank Lucas,
played by by Denzel Washington who smuggles heroin into the U.S in the bodies of American soldiers killed in Vietnam.All goes well for Lucas until an outcast cop,Ritchie Roberts,played by Russell Crowe,begins to sense that a sizeable shift in the drug regime is taking place.Roberts sets out to investigate and the confrontation between the two becomes inevitable. It becomes evident very quickly that one of the two men will emerge victorious.Absolutely spellbinding. Wonderfully acted.It is however Denzel Washington's movie.
