Burt Lancaster selling coke, this was GREAT!!!!!!!!!


I always enjoy films that place legendary Hollywood stars into modern scenarios. Without giving too much of the film away, the story revolves around an aging hood named Lou Pascal from the good ol' days (1940's) who gets caught up in a drug ring. Burt Lancaster did a great job of brining a sense that his character was somewhat naive to what he was doing, yet he balanced it out by being a legitimate tough guy who rubbed elbows with all the infamous big shot gangsters. Of course, the ending has a twist I won't give away. Great underrated flick!!!!!

I love it especially at the end where Lou has Grace sell the last portion of cocaine to the mobster at the hotel.
