American Gangster (2007) starring
Denzel Washington, Russell
Crowe, Ruby Dee, Cuba
Gooding Jr., Josh
Brolin. Washington portrays true-life Harlem drug lord Frank Lucas, and
Crowe plays the outcast
NYPD cop charged with bringing Lucas down. Set against the backdrop of the societal upheaval of the Vietnam War, this is a pretty intense film, especially when Washington is on screen.
Crowe's scenes are, oddly, more subdued. Directed by
Ridley Scott. Both the theatrical and unrated, extended versions are included on this disc.
Grade: B
