From the very beginning, I felt that the American gang was going to take a grand narrative. The director Scott was also good at narrative. For example, his previous shots of Crazy Flower, Alien, and Gladiator were all pretty good, so I went to watch this movie for a night. movie. The two-and-a-half-hour film does not seem to be lengthy. The Vietnam War, drugs, police corruption, gangs, the director tried to portray that era in the United States, but many aspects were not successful enough, such as the gang atmosphere. From the beginning to the end, the storyline doesn’t tell how powerful his gang is, and it even feels weak. It feels like Lucas is just a drug dealer, so the scene where Lucas reprimands the Italian mafia, especially It feels incredible. It seems that after watching movies such as Godfather, Pirates, and American Past, there is really nothing to say about gangster movies, so it’s not bad that American gangsters can be filmed like this. Perhaps due to the adaptation of real people and real events, there is not much conflict in the film and the dramatic tension is not enough, so the performance of the actors has become a bigger highlight. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe respectively play the gang bosses Lucas and Police Robes, after watching their performance, you will not be disappointed. This movie is okay, but only okay
