Great portrayal of a real life story
This film was very well done. I enjoyed not only the story line, characters and authenticity, but the cinematography was fantastic! If you’re looking for a movie experience that will leave you thinking, this is the one.The real life story of drug lord Nicky Barnes is fascinating and truly an eye opener. It takes a look into the city of New York in the 70’s from a criminal view point.
The acting in this film was top notch & very believable. Great work from many “unknowns”. I would recommend this film to all types of movie lovers.
The Best Example of Ethnic Succession
The most powerful black drug kingpin in New York City history, Nicky Barnes came from humble beginnings to make himself and his comrades rich beyond their wildest dreams, ultimately reaching national infamy in 1977 when the New York Times put him on the front cover of their magazine.In organized crime, there is a theory called ethnic succession that explains how the Italians took over criminal enterprise from the Irish. For decades there was speculation that the black community would take over from the Italians. For the most part, this has failed to materialize, with black gangs being largely unprofessional and unorganized. Nicky Barnes and his organization is the big exception.
Everything I know about Barnes I learned from this documentary, which does a great job of explaining his place in history and how he was targeted by law enforcement. Some interesting points are made. Certainly he deserved to be targeted. But was it a real conspiracy?
