Saw it last night with the Mrs (she likes Crowe and Washington; whose wife doesnt?) Good movie but long at 2+ hrs. Washington and Crowe were great. Different slant on the gangster genre. I liked it but it is no Scarface or Godfather. If you expect Denzel to be how he was in Training Day (highly recommended), you'll be disappointed. Violence was present but not to the level of any of the 3 others mentioned. Be prepared for some serious, serious drug abuse scenes. More about the lead characters than about supercriminals versus supercops. 3 out of 4 stars.
