I was fortunate enough to participate in a screening and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. As everyone knows, this movie is based on a true story and Denzel and the entire cast delivered. It was over 2 hours, but the director and producers made every moment count. I was impressed with Ruby Dee (Denzel's mother). This woman is still awesome. I do not feel that this movie will impact our community negatively - it is history and we should take this opportunity to see the movie, read the book, and have some dialogue with family, our children and friends. BOTTOM LINE - GO SEE THE MOVIE -

I loved this film, it was long..but never did it loose my attention. I have a hard time watching Denzel Washington be a "bag guy", but he was outstanding. Russell Crowe hasn't been this good since 'A Beautiful Mind'. Definatley go and see it in the theatres..you will not be sorry!

As a movie junkie seeing this movie was a true blessing. It truly was up there with some of the very best Like Goodfellas and Casino for sure. The begining sure let's you know what your in for and yes Mr. Washington will win another Emmy for his role. Rildy Scott is no new comer and he showed his abilty to be seen as one of the best of our generation. ENJOY THIS WORK OF ART.

Great performances by all lead actors. Denzel Washington hits the mark with his stylish portrayal of the black mobster Frank Lous. Although the movie was long in spots I would highly recommend seeing it.

I didnt buy a bootleg, I was able to snag tix to the premiere at the Apollo. This movis is fabulous! Though long, I never felt it. I recommend this highly!!!
