Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: A slow burning, yet entirely gripping, mobster film, American Gangster pits Denzel Washington’s Frank Lucas against Russell Crowe’s law enforcer Richie Roberts. Spread over a necessarily prolonged running time, their story is then brutally, expertly, told. And while American Gangster isn’t in the league of prime Scorsese and Coppolla classics (such as Goodfellas and The Godfather), it’s the nearest we’ve come in quite some time to something of that ilk. It’s all based on a true story, which does mean you need to forgive it some of its obvious narrative conventions, yet this also lends it a gravitas that the film eagerly makes the most of. It’s great too to see British director Ridley Scott tackling meatier material again. This is the man, after all, who gave us Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiator, and he duly delivers with American Gangster. His finest work it isn’t, but an engrossing, explosive and hard-as-nails drama it absolutely is. What’s more, American Gangster is powered by two of the finest leading man working in Hollywood right now, and it’s terrific to see Washington and Crowe on top form here. And while in cinematic terms it’s hardly a film that treads new ground, it’s nonetheless a proper, grown-up and engrossing movie, and a very good one at that. --Jon Foster Product Description: Ridley Scott (Spy Game)'s American Gangster chronicles the life of a Harlem drug lord (Denzel Washington) and the cop (Russell Crowe) who tried to bring him to justice.

 Rating:  - rubishthis movie is so lie and wanted copy from scarface movie.the actor(washington) cant play the role of gangster,he dont like italian or latina.so rubishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,just nice soundtrack. Rating:  - Solid and intriguingWe have become accustomed to Ridley Scott films that are visually stimulating and beautifully shot. American Gangster does not disappoint in this respect. The integration of newsreel footage of seminal moments of the late 60s/early 70s adds the necessary atmosphere and anchors the prevailing attitudes of the time. My lasting impression, however, is of an underboiled characterisation of both the Washington and Crowe roles. Obviously under director's orders, they give straight performances but without any overt presence. Washington is normally assertive and compelling - here he is not allowed to do this, or not in a way that is endearing. Crowe, as an honest cop in a dishonest force, is also understated, less driven and more ... Read More: Rating:  - Wow!Simply outstanding film. Brilliantly acted, not only by Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe, but some excellent support, particualry in Josh Brolin. An amazing story, a real must for any film fan. Rating: - Over Hyped and TerribleFor those expecting a film in the Mafia footprints of Goodfellas, Casino and The Godfather trilogy prepare to be bitterly disappointed. A disjointed film with poor character development, stilted dialogue and unbelievable manufactured plots. For example how does Lucas have Army connections in Vietnam who are happy to ship huge amounts of heroin without any questions or visible financial inducements? How can he just call up these contacts at the drop of a hat from a phonebooth without any reference to the time differences? These silly scenes just add to the overall mish mash quality of the film. Add to this overly dark cinematography and hard to hear dialogue, that needs constant adjustment to the volume and brightness and that leads to heavier ...
