"American Gangster" is without one of the best crime epics I have ever seen. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe are phenomenal in this film, and the scenes they have together are electric.
The film is 2 hours and 37 minutes long but I promise you they will go by in a flash. You will be enthralled by the story and the performances. The music is also excellent and Ridley Scott did a fantastic job directing. I genuinely think, a decade from now, this film will join "Scarface", "Godfather", "Goodfellas", and "The Departed" (among others) as one of the great crime films in American cinema. And it sure as hell in a contender for the 2008 Oscars.
I have to give a day to let the movie sink in but right now I genuinely think "AG" is the Best Film of 2007. Totally worth your money. See it now. 9.5/10
