American Gangster

Saw American Gangster last night. I loved every second of it. Mike wasn't as siced, because it wasn't violent enough for him. Bloodthirsty ass.

Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, not sure what else you need. The story was great. Denzel plays a dude (an American gangster, if you will) who turns into a 1970's Harlem drug lord by buying heroin direct from the manufacturer and selling it purer and cheaper. Kind of like Wal-Mart I guess.

The thing that always gets me in these gangster movies is the wife. They love it when they can have amazing houses, cars, jewelry, and clothes, but the second something goes wrong the bitches freak out. Where did you think the money was coming from, slut? So the movie has those kind of mobster-movie cliches, but I still love it.
