About this product

Product Information

British director Ridley Scott may not seem a logical choice for this truly American crime drama, but the filmmaker does an excellent job. The film is based on a true story and set in 1968 Harlem, where Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) is a driver for Bumpy Johnson, one of the top figures in the city's criminal world. When Bumpy dies, Lucas swoops in, taking over his predecessor's empire and expanding it over the next few years with his sale of a particularly potent brand of heroin. Meanwhile, New Jersey cop Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) begins to investigate the New York drug world and discovers that there's a new power in town.Thanks to screenwriter Steve Zallian, as well as Washington and Crowe, AMERICAN GANGSTER creates a convincing portrait of two men who are neither entirely good nor entirely bad. Washington plays Lucas as a man who buys his mother a palatial home but doesn't hesitate to beat his brother's head against a window. Crowe's Roberts may turn in a million-dollar find, but he cheats on his wife. Sadly, they only meet onscreen toward the end of the film, but the minimal interaction between the two Oscar winners is fascinating. Even though the focus is on Lucas and Roberts, AMERICAN GANGSTER is filled with a wealth of strong characters played by talented actors. It seems everyone with a SAG card turns up for the film, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Josh Brolin, Ted Levine, John Hawkes, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Carla Gugino, Ruby Dee, Joe Morton, and rappers T.I. and RZA. It's an epic film, with a run time of over two and a half hours, but it's time well spent. Fans of classic crime films such as THE GODFATHER, SERPICO, and CARLITO'S WAY will certainly be pleased by this addition to the genre.

  • Not Quite 'Scarface' - But Intense !!!!

    It's in Denzel Washington's eyes throughout Ridley Scott's 'American Gangster' (UNRATED), that derives a mesmerizing slice of Urban Historical Grit. Based Upon a True Story; Washington is playing Frank Lucas, a Real-Life Crime Boss who for a period lasting from the late 1960s into the following decade ran Manhattan "From 110th to 155th, River to River." A slick character who doesn't need to strut his worth on the streets, Lucas hates flash like a junkie hates rehab; reminding him of all he truly is but doesn't want to be. Facing off against him is New Jersey Narc Detective Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe), a womanizing tough guy with a short fuse but a heart of gold. In a Big-City Police Department in the 1970s, boy scout behavior like his could just get you killed — a guy not on the take is ...

  • American Gangster

    The story of this real life American is told in such a way as to present what may have been the facts of his life, however morbid or tough they were. It did not attempt to idolize or ostrasize the man and his life, merely present the facts. The screenplay was well adapted. Actor Denzel once again, in the prime of his career, shows his versatility in all roles. A great back up cast, from other Hollywood greats such as Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ted Levine; Josh Brolin, and Ruby Dee. Denzel Washington nails it as the smart and elusive Frank Lucas, who avoids the corrupt law enforcement right down to the time they close in on him. Russell Crowe puts in a strong performance as the overly patient detective, Richie Roberts. Both actors relive the tension between the two characters and make it real as it ...

  • Instant Gangster Classic

    I have always loved gangster movies.  I love Goodfellas, The Godfather, The Departed, and so on.  American Gangster now enters that mix, as one of the best gangster movies of all time.  Denzel Washington plays the heroin dealer who travels to Vietnam to find the best heroin for the cheapest amount of money.  By cutting out the middle man, he offers the best product for the least amount of money, thus eliminating his competition who can't compete with him.  All the while, he is gathering enemies on both sides of the law.  The only problem is that no one knows who he is, until he decides to show up at the Fight of the Century with the best seats in the house, sporting a mink jacket and hat, while talking to other gangsters.  That gives law enforcement agents some insight into who The Kingpin ...

  • Great performances all around

    Not only Denzel & Russell deliver, entire supporting cast deliver great performances that make this movie riveting to watch.

  • Will became a Classic

    I saw the movie before I decided to have it in my collection. Great duet and outstanding acting performance by both Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. This movie, according on true story, shows a part of American History as well. Gangs, corrupted police officers, violence, narcotics, treachery -all it remains actual and today. Great film, keep one for yourself.
