Synopsis:
Following the death of his employer and mentor, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Lucas establishes himself as the number one importer of heroin in the Harlem district of Manhattan. He does so by buying heroin directly from the source in South East Asia and he comes up with a unique way of importing the drugs into the United States. As a result, his product is superior to what is currently available on the street and his prices are lower. His alliance with the New York Mafia ensures his position. It is also the story of a dedicated and honest policeman, Richie Roberts, who heads up a joint narcotics task force with the Federal government. Based on a true story.



My Review:
This is my first movie to watch Denzel Washington with antagonist character, to be a brutal criminal super mafia but so soft and gentle like Robin Hood. Two thumbs up for him and every details for the movie. The 1960 era’s is seem more live with various environments. At the end of the movie, it reminds me about Corruption Against Committee in Indonesia. Anyway, for me, the film sounds carrying specific morality message; don’t be greedy and don’t be a corruptor. Great movie as a must see.

My Rating:


Director: Ridley Scott
