Although I felt it got off to a slow start, Washington and Crowe lead us through this based-on-true-life film of the heroin drug trade in the 60’s & early 70’s. This should be on the must-see list of anyone who is a fan of crime films. Not only is it a great mob film in general, but the added twist of the affect of competition from African-American and Jewish competition for the drug lordship — not to mention the whole importing through the military angle makes this an extremely interesting tale.
