The divisive Zack Snyder returns to the world of zombie action years after his breakthrough with a remake of George A. Both men are great, but this is an awesome ensemble piece with great supporting work from a dozen or so character actors. Denzel Washington plays this loose variation on the life of Frank Lucas, a legendary criminal who revolutionized the drug trade Russell Crowe plays the detective who brought him down.
Ridley Scott directed this epic gangster pic that saw two of the most charismatic actors of their generation work together on their first major project (no offense, Virtuosity fans). The opening car chase alone almost plays like a parody of Bay’s past movies, and the film’s tongue-in-cheek nature is the best thing about it. What happens when you give an action-crazed lunatic like Michael Bay the freedom of budget and running time of Netflix? This chaos, a movie that no one would call great - not even the people who made it - but that does certainly scratch an itch for B-movie insanity with an A-movie budget.
