My afterthought: This is a biopic

Is it a biopic or a gangster movie?
In terms of content, it should be a biopic. But the name is also called American Gangster. Saw two ridley scott movies, "American Gangster" and "Body of Lies". In terms of subject matter, I like them all, especially Lies. But both films were shot. "Lies" is the most outrageous.
And this American gangster was pretty good at the beginning. It also describes the darkness, drug abuse, social instability and inner fears of America in the 1970s. But pat and pat, it becomes a biography. It's life-threatening. Ridley, do you want to be a figurehead or do you want to talk about America in the 70s. Can you make up your mind? I was wondering what would happen if martin made this film? I don't think so, though, because martin doesn't deal with black people. Only Italians. Out of Lao Li. Hahaha

    The movie was too mediocre for what could be a wonderful story

    Washington finally acted as the boss once. His charm is that whether he plays a good person or a villain, he can't be hated; the two-strand intertwined mode of the two heroes fights for hegemony, the editing is simple, the drama is wonderful, but the ending is out of conventional wisdom.

    Detective Richie Roberts: Then that's the way it is.

  • Detective Richie Roberts: This is the newly formed Essex County narcotics squad, our mandate is to make major arrests, no street guys, we're looking for the suppliers and distributors, Heroin, Cocaine, Amphetamines, no grass under a thousand pounds, no powder under forty kilograms, any less than that we're going to waste our time, we're going to handling the big shipments, the big money, the big temptation
