Almar Flotildes MOVIE REVIEWER

Just like any civilized gangster, Frank Lucas puts family first and business second, a very close second. It’s always church on Sundays with his mother and business the rest of the week. He is the most easy-going person if you get on his good side, but if you even leave a stain on his fur carpet, don’t be surprised if he slams your head with the top of his grand piano.
