The Young Americans
Created: 16/05/09
Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, The Piano, Puerto Vallarta Squeeze, etc)
plays John Harris - a Drug Enforcement Agent on the trail of Carl Frazer
(Viggo Mortensen-Boiling Point, The Indian Runner, etc). Frazer will
stop at nothing to seize the mob's drug trade, recruiting violent street
punks to do his killing. Harris's only hope is to enlist Chris, a
confused dead-end kid whose only allegiance is to his friends. But when
Frazer's murderous ways hit too close to home, Chris crosses the line between honor and deceit to infiltrate the gang. Ultimately, both he and Harris
must face Frazer and his wrath in a deadly confrontation at point-blank
range. Lovers of action, adventure, or police drama will enjoy this movie.
However, the ending is predictable to most police drama/action movies.
Still if you are a devotee of those genre of movies-you will enjoy this
one and it should give you a good nights entertainment when you watch this
one.

It's OK. It didn't hold my attention very well. Maybe it's because I'd seen The Departed earlier. It just moved alittle slower. I wasn't exactly bored, I just didn't seem to get that into it. I thaught for sure it would've been excellent with Harvey in it.
