American Gangster
Yes.. OMG.. Finally it's out!! And it doesn't disappoint!! Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott, ZOMG.. what a beautiful collaboration!! Now this is the real scarface, BABBEEHH!!! "The Scarface of 2007", that's what I'll dub the movie!! Needless to say, it's a MUST WATCH!! MUST WATCH.. I can't even start talking about the movie.. I watched the trailer and I was DYING, and I watched it.. and it's sooo an R movie... so don't bring the kids or the teens!! Violence, Voilence.. and Voilence.. Great way to spend 157 minutes!! hehehe!! The greatest thing about this movie is that it's based on a true story.. it's also the scariest thing... (cause it is based on a TRUE STORY) I'm sorry I'm writing this repeatedly.. I'm just soooooo excited that I've actually watched this movie before it came out in the cinema.. (I wouldn't go to the cinema in my country to do so, they'll censor too many parts and you wouldn't see violence; YOU people out there with countries that do not censor their movies, go to the theaters and WATCH IT!!!) You'll never get bored in the movie as there's no dull moments in it.. Denzel Washington made a GREEATT performance.. sure, Russell did too, but the award goes to... Denzel's character's mother... played by Ruby Dee!! Stunning performance.. just stunning.. Well, yes, Russell Crowe did a superb job as well... Sure, it might not be as great as Godfather, but hey.. it's the movie to watch of this year.. next to 300 of course.. but compare 300 and American Gangster...? American Gangster beats 300 about 10% more votes.. I do love 300.. but American Gangster R-O-C-K-S!! The look and the feel the movie is just great! The lowly driver Frank (Denzel) of the leading crime boss exploited the power after his boss' sudden death and made his version of the American Dream. He then rule the inner-city trade by flooding the streets with purer product with a better price. Then Richie (Russel) a cop that suspects that the underworld is taken a shift of power. Both guys shares a ethical code that sets them apart from their own groups, making them standing alone on the opposite sides of the law. Then these two meets... I love gangster-ism.. Just love it!

I've seen this film. As usual, Washington and Crowe have displayed their unusually high acting standards. Its a good film
telling a fascinating story of a smart gangster who brought some business innovation to organised crime and an upright cop attempting to set things right while resisting the temptation to enrich himself by corruption. His struggle with combating corruption within the police force as well as fighting organised crime on the outside. This film reminds me of Dostoyevsky's Crime and punishment.
this is one of worst movies ive seen on organised crime. the mob boss character does not suit Danzel Washington - he's a sissy. He looks more like a the troop leader of the girl guides than an organised crime boss. Al Pacino is a natural gangster. Russel Crowe looked like he was acting in a romantic movie...jeez !
don't waste your time on this movie...sit at home and watch desperate housewives instead...
Thanks Frank, it is a good movie, and the direction of the movie is good.. It's not so much the draggy Godfather with sequels, but it sums up both parties in 157 minutes.. =)
Mr Sandman, thank you for your comment, I'm glad that there's others who see things the other way and it's great that you post your opinion, at least we're able to comment and learn from each other!! Thanks.. And sorry you wasted your time watching this movie.. I'm guessing you're a Scarface fanatic then.. =)) Take care!!
