You have that right. Nothing better then Denzel as a bad guy.

It looks tough.

It is pretty good. I'll give it a 7.5 out of 10. Denzel was much better in Training Day.

Denzel was the best in Training Day and Man on fire. It doesn't look as good as those two movies from the previews. I will see it though.

Denzel was crazy in Training Day. It's really not fair to compare him to that role....One of his best.

I can't wait until Friday so I can go catch this one. Denzel is the man though, so an amazing performance is always expected.

I heard it yesterday. I think it's awesome. Super laid back but I'd give it 8/10.

Bluntly put, this movie sucked. Was expecting so much more, this was a very formula driven piece. I was very bored, too bad because there were some great actors involved with this.

Blow is a much better drug movie.

As far as I know BLOW is a true story too, check your info. The real drug guy is ugly as shit though, not a Johnny Depp.

I had been waiting months for this movie...I so was hoping it wasnt going to be crappy. Its not super terrible, just generic and boring. Its unfortunate because the Frank Lucas character had a lot of potential to explore.

AG was slow but it was still ok with actors Crow and Danzel you cant go wrong. It was 7 out of 10. I thought it was ok not great but not horrible either.

in my book I do agree it was slow moving and needed more action. Still worth checking out.
