American Gangster Review
Posted by Jason Nappi on February 27, 2008
Wow. What a great movie. Ridley Scott did this american story justice. Cinematography was very well done. Denzel was at his best, he is such a better bad guy than good. I am not a huge Russell Crowe fan, but great performance here. Loved the movie. Normally for a 3 hour movie you think, “no way I can handle it.” Well this was perfect, didn’t slow down one bit. 3 hours went by so fast. Couldn’t believe it. There are some movies that need to be shorter and they would be A LOT better. Like Transformers, if that didnt have all that garbage int the middle, would have been a much better movie.
However, this movie was terrific. Can’t wait to watch it again. Now that’s how you know it was a great movie.
IMHO, should have won multiple oscars. but the oscars are politically driven like everything else in the world. so it didn’t.
