Review:
Call it the black "Scarface" or "the Harlem Godfather" or just one
hell of an exciting movie, but the fact-based, 1970s-era
American Gangster is already looking like a major awards
contender. Denzel Washington looms like a colossus as notorious
drug lord Frank Lucas, and in the still, watchful center of his
volcanic performance you'll find the measure of a dangerous man.
There's more good news: A combustible Russell Crowe channels
Serpico as Richie Roberts, the honest Jersey cop who aches to take
Frank down. Steven Zaillian, sourcing Mark Jacobson's 2000 New
York magazine interview with Lucas ("The Return of Superfly"),
brings scrappy life to a script that spans more than a decade.
Camera legend Harris Savides shoots on the fly, as if he'd sneaked
into a Seventies time capsule. And Ridley...

Watching the trailers for Ridley Scotts IAmerican GangsterI its hard not to be reminded of Scorseses IThe DepartedI, the most recently successful Hollywood spin on the world of mobsters versus cops. But if theres any similarity between the two films at all, it ends with the advertisements. Where Scorseses film is intense, entangled, and full of pathos Scotts film is calculating and flat. IAmerican GangsterI is a procedural more than anything; a basic, by the numbers execution of a standard good cop versus sympathetic mob boss drama. Source: Cinema Blend |

| American Gangster / **** (R) |
"American Gangster" (R, 157 minutes). Denzel Washington in a story inspired by the real-life Harlem drug kingpin Frank Lucas, who flew to Cambodia to secure a steady supply, and drove out competition with higher quality and lower prices. Russell Crowe stars as Det. Richie Roberts, who doggedly pursues him for years, despite opposition within his own department. Director Ridley Scott moves the story smoothly and relentlessly, as a collaboration between drug addiction and sound business practices. Rating: Four stars. Source: RogerEbert Headlines |

| American Gun / *** (R) |
Three interlocking stories involving guns. Marcia Gay Hardin plays the mother of a teenager who shot and killed his Oregon high school classmates Forest Whitaker is the principal of a Chicago high school which guns have all but paralyzed. Donald Sutherland is a nice old man who runs a gun shop in Virginia. The movie isn't strident, but sad. The director, Steven Bagatourian, doesn't pound us with a message but simply asks, how do you lead a reasonable life in a world where a lot of your fellow citizens can and do walk around armed?
