I have had this movie play on loop for about 6 days now, so I think I have seen/heard/subconsciously-allowed-it-to-enter-my-dreams about 60 times. I play movies on loop all the time while I am working and usually after 10 hours I am so done with the movie, but this one is lasting the test of time! There are too many lines in this movies that I will recite in unsuspecting situations for the years to come, and among my favorites are: "That's $25,000 Alpaca, you blot that s___!" "Simple simon a___ mother f___!" "I'm in the jungle, look around, they're eating those roaches or whatever that is!" "I was investigatin' stuff, checkin' on guys, followin' things up, puttin' the pieces together, just like you taught me." "Just write the report the way I said it happened, then that's the way it is, and that's the way it will be." "Who is Frank Lucas, who does he work for, which family?" "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I pay y'all by the hour, not by the minute." "Apart from the fact that they hate you personally, they hate what you represent." "You know if you wasn't my brother, I'd kill ya." "What the f___ is a microwave?" "It wasn't no accident, he don't feel s___ because he's coked up all the mother f___ time!" "I think about the dairy farmers about as much as they think of me." "What's my share, because you don't even f___ know me!" "Someone employed by this office believes that the United States army is in the drug trafficking business, and they are trying to prove it by desecrating the remains of young men who have GIVEN THEIR LIVES IN THE DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY!" "Bumpy ain't runnin' Harlem no more." "I don't think that it's Frank Lucas that we're after, who we want is who Frank Lucas works for." "That is trademark infringement." So if this movie flopped with the British, I am wondering if the British liked the Godfather movies?
Very good film. I've always been a fan of Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe was pretty good too - 9/10
great film. a 4/5 for me just wished there wasnt that too many dialog. my friend next to me fell asleep, and then when she woke up, she was like "huh, when did they get married? " lol
