• Just saw this movie last night. Very good, not the best I have ever seen, but very good nonetheless.
  
  Anyone else see this yet?

• I thought this was a really good movie but it falls short of Goodfellas and Blow, which it was compared to in articles/reviews I read. Def worth seeing though.
  
  

  Spoiler (hover to show)

  I really disliked the last 15-20 minutes. After all the family oriented business decisions Denzel Washington\'s character made, why did he sell out his entire family in order to save himself? He gave up his entire organization/contacts to Russell Crowe\'s police task force so he could avoid a prison sentence. That really went against his portrayed image the movie created up until his bust. Disappointing ending to say the least...unless I missed something.

• awesome movie.  saw it a week ago.   i love denzel as an actor.   I could live without Russell Crowe doing his jersey accent (i think the same exact one he did in cinderella man).

• Good movie. I enjoyed it. But it was too overhyped, and I think overrated.
  
  Stick with Goodfellas.

• :fart:   movie was aight. Great opening scene, but the rest couldn\'t stand to the hype. Denzel was good, but has done better movies. If you want to see a good non-Italian gangster movie, check out "City of God" and tells me what ya thinks.

• City of God is brilliant.
  
  The television series, by the same director, called City of Men, is also really **** incredible.
