i don't really know if i'm gonna watch this movie cause of its "R" rating, but it does look good. i mean, Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, and Ridley Scott!! What more is there to say?

....well, the title baisically says it all for me....

Not to get into a debate or anything, but why does it seem like American media has such a fasination with the ganster and/or mob and/or mafia lifestyle?....What's the attraction to it that ppl feel?......Is it the whole wanting to belong somewhere?......

I'd say because it was once part of American Society during the 40's era (I think). Not to mention that there's a lot of Pulp Fiction stories lying around. What is one of top rated movies in the world? "The Godfather" of course!

Yeah, I like gangster/mafia things.
