A rare gang epic film in recent years, which is closer to "The Godfather" in form. It tells the life of a native American black gang boss. Denzel Washington's performance is so outstanding that I am blown away. Compared with the role played by Russell Crowe, this excellent policeman is a bit boring and lacks bright spots. The overall quality of the film is indeed very high, better than that of Lao Ma’s "Infernal Affairs" last year.
