    That's all good but, that finger should be a million miles away when comes to acting chops, Russell Crowe rarely uses them little gestures that bring attention to oneself. Rawest of skills is what he brings time after time. He should be a two-time winner. Denzel's role in Training Day was so over the top, it should be a lesson on how not to act. No comparison.

    The great thing about his work in this movie is that he decided to play in a low key. Never nervous, never the thug you would expect. Never threatening the cop. His real nature is when throws the cup of coffee on the wall. That’s where Denzel is great. He shows with little details who Franck Lucas was. The opposite being De Niro in the untouchables always displaying physical violence. It’s so clever from Denzel to act that way. I admire that.

    The interesting thing about the two characters in the movie is that Frank is morally sound in his family life and a dirt bag in his professional life. Richie is the exact opposite in that he is morally sound in his profession while being a dirt bag in his family life. It's an interesting theme of the movie that i'm pretty sure wasn't coincidental

    Its an excellent bit of acting from Denzel. You can see the wind go out of his sails as soon as he realises he is facing a truely rightous man. He knew eventually the party would come to an end and if he was brought down because of greed or curruption or racism, all those justifications he's told himself over the years for why he was still a good person, despite everything he'd done become true. But when he's face with a man who can't be bribed or threatened, who understands how broken the system is and still refuses to compromise... it's not the system he's fighting anymore, its justice.

    I watched this movie in theaters with my parents, I was a child, but for some reason I rooted for Frank. A family man who came from nothing that realized everyone else was fucked up and he had to become as fucked up as they were to bring his family some prosperity. It wasn't right but he saw it that way. The detective thought he was going to stop everything bad in this world but it never really happens that way does it? Fantastic movie and story.

As soon as he figures out Crowe's priority is to sweep up dirty cops and not put Frank away forever he knows he will be free in a (relatively) short time. In the movie it was 5 years, which is hell of a lot shorter than the 70 year sentence he was staring down.

    2:29 "I got the Mazzano crime family (willing to testify against you)". WHAT ? No Mafia member in good standing would ever - EVER - help cops take down a rival criminal. Let alone testify in court. They wouldn't even GO to court, unless they're supporting another Mafia guy, who is on trial. Ten mob guys attending a court room trial ? And being willing to testify ? Imagine how self incriminating that would be. "Yeah, I hate that Lucas guy, he was dealing heroin ! My crime family only deals in gambling, loan sharking, hijacking and murder!"

    If you're a made guy, if you're connected, if you're an associate. Even if you're the lowest level street thug, and you say, "Hey, let's testify against one of our enemies - let's help the cops bring a heroin dealer down", you'll be killed. You'll be marked as a rat. You're dead. The concept of a Mafia crime family helping the cops take down a rival, is incredibly ridiculous. Come on. I know people love this movie, but that's as unrealistic as it gets. Whoever wrote the script for this film, knows nothing about how mob guys operate. A Mafia member will only testify if he's indicted, or facing charges, and wants to save his own skin.
