Who Wants To Be An American Gangster?

Won a pair of tickets to the movie, American Gangster. I will be watching it on this coming saturday at The Cathay.

I am quite glad to watch this great movie for free in a lucky draw contest organised by Singtel, and will be asking my former work colleague along, since he is also quite an avid movie fan.

If the movie reviews conducted by the media are to be believed, then this is a definite must-see movie! Well, I will leave it to you people to decide, but I will recommend that you purchase the tickets and to watch the excellent masterpiece acting by the two lead actors, namely, Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

Movie Plot:

Based on the life of drug-kingpin-turned-informant, Frank Lucas, the movie follows him as he grew up in segregated North Carolina where he watched as his cousin was shot by the Ku Klux Klan for merely looking at a white girl. He eventually made his way to Harlem where he became a heroin kingpin by travelling to Asia's Golden Triangle to make connections, shipping heroin back to the US in the coffins of soldiers killed in Vietnam. He soon made over a million dollars a day in drug sales. Lucas was shadowed by lawman Richie Roberts, who finally helped bring the kingpin to justice. The two then worked together to expose the crooked cops and foreign nationals who made importing heroin so easy.

* American Gangster opens in Singapore cinemas on 10th Jan 08
