American Gangster Denzel Washington
Frank Lucas didn't just move heroin in American Gangster, Denzel Washington played a guy who took the whole idea of the American Dream and gave it a glow-up. Better product, cleaner suits. Cops in the story were busy taking bribes, and meanwhile he's got pure Blue Magic coming in direct from the source. That right there is the coldest flex cinema has ever handed us. The film itself is the most stylish middle finger to the system ever put on screen.
