The movie is brilliant. Daniel was tremendous. Crowe was spectacular.The support characters were equally impressive. I love the movie. I won't mind watching it again.

a black man's scarface. a rise in the ranks that is not shown on film but also a bit of a modest guy that embodies family and culture. denzel at his best.

I thought gave a very good insight on life during the time period it took place in. The acting was absolutely amazing and the story in general was fascinating.

Great film, could of done with a bit more between frank (Washington) and his mentor, but other than that its a good story which does make you think. Also in response to Ben B (Who did make me laugh) The film is based on a true story!

Really great movie. From what I can, a accurate protrail of New York in the 70's. Great mix of action and detective. Crowe and Washington do great. Not too gory either.

Amazing. it's a typical Ridley Scott movie. Specially and most of all the intense drill down in the personalitties of Mr Washington and Mr Crowe as the Gangster and the Policeman.

Ridley Scott comes back with a great movie. Denzel brings back his bad side from Training Day. A must see in theaters if you are a fan of movies.

Chilling, ironic portrait of a real killer and dope kingpin, with juke and jive of the sixties brought to life in the clubs. Denzel Washington manages the steely look of a man focused on results, at whatever cost.

A bit too violent, but the acting was superb!!! Denzel and Russell should both have academy award nominations for this movie

Though not perfect, "American Gangster" is good enough to be rated with some of the very good gangster movies, such as "Scarface". I was mesmerized and it didn't seem like a 2-1/2 hour movie!

With the caliber of actors and directing I expected much more. The attention to minor details left the movie lacking depth.

With 11 Oscar nominations and three wins between them, Ridley Scott (3 noms), Denzel Washington (5 noms, 2 wins), and Russell Crowe (3 noms, 1 win) make one of the most decorated trios this year has seen at the movies

Good movie, good plotline, good acting... However the entire movie never really seemed to get a steady pace, and after two something hours, they rushed to the ending.

The best big studio movie of the year. I never thought a movie that is over two and a half hours long could hold my interest like this one did. The acting, directing and writing are all top notch.

"American Gangster" delivers incredible acting based on a true story! If you liked movies like "Casino", "Black Mass", "Goodfellas" or even "The Godfather"... i advice you not to ignore this one!

American Gangster is a stylish, thrilling movie with powerhouse performances from Crowe and Washington. Scott's film is mostly exceptional, aside a few pacing issues, but the acting is the main focus of the movie.

Film sprytnie pokazuje jak mała i duża jednocześnie jest różnica między dobrem a złem, a przy okazji jest po prostu w ch*j solidną produkcją. Bawi i uczy.

Accurate mafioso drama inspired in true life facts. Denzel Washington remarks as a Harlem kingpin with code of honor and a high sense about family. Fortunate experiencde of Ridley Scott in criminal genre.

This is a great great gangster film. Is there anything Ridley Scott can't do?
Denzel Washington is awesome in it as is Russell Crowe. Cuba Gooding with a small role but great nonetheless!
