American Gangster (1/11) Movie CLIP - Nobody Owns Me (2007) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Frank (Denzel Washington) explains his method of business and how he managed to surpass the "white man" when others couldn't.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Ridley Scott spins this yarn concerning a Harlem drug kingpin (Denzel Washington) who smuggles heroin into the country by hiding it in the bodies of U.S. soldiers killed during battle in Vietnam. There was a time when no one noticed reserved driver Frank Lucas (Washington), but when the criminal kingpin he was charged with transporting through the city streets suddenly dies, Lucas seizes the opportunity to build his own criminal empire. In the following months, Lucas solidifies his status as Harlem's most innovative drug dealer by delivering a product that is purer than the competitors' and cheaper, as well. When innovative businessman Lukas attempts to go semi-legit by becoming one of the Manhattan borough's biggest civil supporters, however, street-savvy outcast cop Ritchie Roberts (Russell Crowe) begins to sense a sizable shift in the hierarchy of the drug underworld. But Roberts is one of the few honest detectives operating within a corrupt system, and as he sets out to investigate the case, crooked detective Trupo (Josh Brolin) does everything in his power to compromise the integrity of his idealistic counterpart. Upon clearing all of the usual Mafia-connected suspects, Roberts begins to believe that a previously unknown black power player has come out of the woodwork to dominate the local drug trade. While Roberts and Lucas may be operating on opposite sides of the law, the one thing that both men have in common is a strict code of ethics that separates them from their opportunistic colleagues. Now, as a confrontation between the two men becomes inevitable and the fate of each becomes inexorably tied to the other, it gradually becomes apparent that only one of them will emerge from the conflict victorious.

HIT US UP:

[Insert]

This man has the smoothest walk on television...

[fv]

“How ya doin baby” what a legend. Denzel is one hell of a actor.

[Redemption]

You're either somebody, or you're nobody.

[dmoney]

"nobody owns me though".. words our young people should strive to say and believe

[トレスのチヤネル]

They filmed the godfather in the house they entered in

[gerrickwillis]

If all you got out of this movie was dope boy ambitions then I'm a get you a jar with 20% in it

[LAPRlZ]

A simple "How you doin bae" can make a scene more real.

[mario]

Denzel always had that smooth criminal walk. Especially in training day 😎

[o.portista]

An extremely legend of a film, that should be known even more, and receive more credits for its dynamics. Such an amazing storyline, characters, soundtrack and led by two legendary actors, Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe who brought so much emotion, and action to it. What makes the film even greater is the many lessons and lines that are brought up, and what's even greater is how it's based on a true story. Honestly, worth watching no matter what. Had watched this on my birthday years back, and really an unforgettable film, that till this day I have never forgotten about. Don't want to spoil much, but its a must-see. 4.19.2020

[JFCotman]

Wealthy = money working for you [not you for it]

[joelabriola]

Great Actor! Anything he does is Gold.

[richcollins]

This scene really made you feel you was in the 70s of Harlem.Truly an under rated film

[Guillermo_Carratero]

Watching some of these clips of my favorite movies, is like taking a small, delicious piece of hors d'oeuvre when I don't have the time to have an elaborate meal..

[chendaddy]

My only gripe with this movie is that the Denzel Washington parts were SO MUCH more interesting than the Russell Crowe parts. Crowe is a great actor, but every time we're watching his character, all I'm thinking is c'mon man let's get back to Denzel.

[roolyfe]

My favorite line in the movie. Nobody Owns Me!

[DragonBlack]

“Bumpy was rich but he wasn’t white man rich he wasn’t wealthy” this makes you think about the difference in value

[superAweber]

Unfortunately brother, your product is illegal in every country

[marcelprimes]

Man....I automatically here the Jay-Z album when he starts talking.

[oluwafemiajose]

LOL, it loved how this man talked and acted like he was a legit business man. Like CEO of a legit company making legit products.

[harlemhornet]

even if you don't agree and like the actions of this movie.. There is still an excellent BASE message. ( i'm sure there are many, but the one I think of is :) Be true to yourself, think big and don't be afraid to take risks. On the other spectrum I also see : Know when enough is enough, and realize what and who you have ... or it might pass you by.
