Crowe and Washington are two of my favorites, this this movie was a real treat. Ok, so the plot is somewhat predictable but it's well acted and nicely put together. Compared to something like "The Departed" AG is a bit one-dimentional but it's definatly worth watching.
Recommended.

Purchased it for my boyfriend since we missed it when it was out in the theater. Great movie to have in your collection. Denzel did it again.

I had no inkling that this film would be as outstanding as it was. I figured it was just another pop release along the lines of the lackluster "We Own the Night." I was totally wrong though and could not stop watching once it started. I'd put it right up there with The Departed, but below masterpieces such as The Godfather and Goodfellas. No matter where you place it, American Gangster touches on a seldom discussed topic in the history of crime and is riveting. If you haven't seen Across 110th Street it really adds to this film's appeal. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe were magnificent and I was pleased to see Chiwetel Ejiofor in the cast. I loved "Dirty Pretty Things" and he gave an amazing performance as Okwe. Josh Brolin's Detective Trupo was haunting. I know, of course, of his dad and step-mom but was not familiar with him beforehand. Overall, American Gangster is a must see.

The second teaming of Denzel and Russell provides a very difficult movie to film in that there are two movies here -- Denzel's and Russell's. This is a very taut, drama about good and evil and what somebody believes is survival is a crime to somebody else. Russell is very good playing a different role than what one would expect in that he is the flawed good guy. One of Russell's crew is John Hawkes, one of the doomed fisherman in Perfect Storm. Surprising, there is not as much violence or blood that one would expect, but rather a story of the lives of two men, not so different from each other. A must have to own. Watch for an unaccredited Clarence Williams III, an icon from the 1960s.

I hadn't seen this film and purchased it based on reviews, some of which were mixed. I found the film very interesting and well acted, directed and filmed. My problem with the 3 disk set is that Disk 3, which is a digital download of the film, was useless. I tried once to download it and failed on my 2nd try I received a message that I had already downloaded and that my permit/serial no. was now invalid. Disk 3 was useless. So be warned!
