I enjoyed learning the legend of Frank Lucas. I think he is a very clever business person. He took advantage the situation and made a fortune. business majored students should learn him. I am not saying students should sell illegal drugs to make big bucks. Plz don't do anything immoral and unethical. The only thing I admire Frank is his analytical skills and the way he does business=ruthless. anna, i don't consider this movie as a piece of art. but I agree it is an awesome movie. the movie is very informative.

Its development took tooo long and the ending seemed too short. Its a hollywood blockbuster which cost $93 mill to produce and release, but right now its barely managed to gross $100 mill.. Last time I checked the point of a blockbuster is to make money. Didnt we say in class that art has a purpose, well a movies purpose is to produce money. So thats my take on everything non-artsy on this movie. But i thought Training Day was ten times better, b/c it revealed the true LA and the corruption of the police core and also revealed the power structure of "ghetto neighborhoods" and essentially revealed the other half of LA. So theres my novel for you well as an avid drug/violence/mob movie watcher, i was really disappointed by this movie. Its development took tooo long and the ending seemed too short.

I agree, Denzel Washinton's performance was outstanding - he truly captured the audience with his truthful way of inhbaiting the character of Frank Lucas. I like that you provided a very succinct, short summary of the movie; the complexity of the movie would make it very difficult to only write a short paragraph about it but reading through yours I get a clear idea and vision of what the art in this movie really is even if I hadn't see it. And true - everyone should go see this movie, it's epic! I loved this movie so much!
