Two thumbs down. What were Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe thinking to sign on to this movie! Neither the script nor the acting by these two stars were good.

I truly enjoyed this movie. Growing up in the 70s, a couple of miles north of Harlem I was able to relate to the characters, the setting, and the soundtrack in this film. Also, the story line and Denzel's performance was exceptional. Great job!!!

40 minutes in I still couldn't find a character to care about. Ultimately I didn't like the Denzel character nor did I want the cop to win. It's a period piece and even the dialogue didn't fit, slang that felt only ten years old. Sorry not worth my time or my money. Les, Winnipeg

Nothing special but Denzel does give a great performance. "We Own the Night" is better.

This movie dragged on. It is not even in the league of great gangster movies. It is sad that this movie is being heralded as Oscar worthy. Don't waste your money.
