American Gangster stars Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington

What others said in review

Kyle smith says Say hello to my leetle M.B.A! It’s the black Scarface. But American Gangster is an economic education with as many bullet points as bullets.

Emmanuel levy wrote Under Scott’s bravura helming, this sprawling saga, combining the best elements of the classic crime-gangster genre with a fact-based drama of Harlem’s drug lord and folk hero, critiques the American Way of Life of mobility, consumerism and success.

Commingsoon.net says An entertaining, masterfully-crafted crime flick even if it isn’t altogether original or groundbreaking compared to Ridley Scott’s classic films.
