This is one of those films that is "inspired" by a true story. I was inclined to give this standard-fare rags-to-riches crime story a better rating because it had to adhere to 'what really happened' . . . until I learned that it's mostly fiction anyway. I was tipped off by a number of costuming and dialogue elements that seemed anachronistic for the late 60s and early 70s - that, and certain plot elements seemed blatantly unbelievable. I guess I don't have much tolerance for movies that use the 'true story' gimmick to add credibility to their storyline. We might as well say that Die Hard was 'inspired' by a true story about a cop who was 'in a building when a crime was going on'...
Anyway, this movie is one-part Scarface imitation, and one-part procedural cop drama. The procedural portion dominates the second half of nearly 3 hours and seems choppy and rushed by that point, despite the extended length of the film.

This is a movie that sets a standard in the Gangster movie genre...based on a true story...and you get Crowe and Washington together! awesome chemistry. They are physically fit and handsome as ever. Outstanding acting and story!
