Movie Reviews of American Gangster [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: American Gangster
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on a true story 'American Gangster' takes us on another gangster style journey, but made refreshing as not based around the Mob or Italian stereotypes. As other reviewers here have noted, this film stands out by the great performances of both Washington and Crowe and they both add depth and flair to their respective roles. I was hooked in the first ten minutes and although Washington plays a flawed character, you can't help but like him. Excellently directed and with great supporting actors as well, this film managed to hold my attention for the duration. If you like crime and gangster films then this rates pretty highly and is well worth a look and even if you're not a fan of these films this has enough on offer to appeal to everyone else as well. A solid four star film.

Movie Review: Way better than expected...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not really into crime films or action-influenced dramatic films, but I had to step back, open my mind, and watch this one when it was presented to me. It was so much better than I thought it would be. The movie is basically about a successful African American drug dealer who was above the Mafia, why he went into this field, how his family dealt with it, and the fall of how he was caught. The plot was interesting. The dialogue was fresh "My man!" Denzel was as smooth as ever--no matter what character he plays, he always manages to be charming. That's a gift. The scene when he left the restaurant to confront someone on money was the most standout scene with me. My jaw dropped at watching his sociopathic reaction. Now THAT was cold-hearted, but it made for a great movie.Movie Review: Denzel brings it every time!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just loved this movie...a non-stop action movie that does what most movies are incapable of...makes you care about the characters. You learn just enough about the characters so as not to get burdened with details...you either love them or hate them....this cast along with the director just work! You truly can't go wrong with Washington...he is a remarkable actor....throw in Crow on top of that and you have the perfect cast for this based on life action packed thriller. I highly recommend...your dollar won't be wasted on this one.Movie Review: Very good movie but way too much nudity.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent movie and the acting is fantastic. I would have given it five stars but the nudity is over the top and adds nothing to this film.
Movie Review: Boring Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie has Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. I am having a great expectation that this movie is as good as GoodFellas [Blu-ray], American History X [Blu-ray], and even Road to Perdition [Blu-ray]. I am hoping that this movie has a great historical significance to the American history. But no. They just talk and talk for 3 hours for how Frank was being hunted down by the good cops. No action. Nothing much to learn about Frank (except that he is very smart) or how it is like to live in the 60's. Russell Crowe is pretty good in this movie but all the rest of the casts including Denzel Washington are boring.
One interesting remark they make in the movie is how black people in the 60's can work hard to move up to the ladder even they are criminal. Even the Italian mafia want to see Frank fail. It is a similar remark Gene Hackman makes in Mississippi Burning.
I haven't seen the extra in the bluray disc yet. The package itself is just a box with one disc in it.
Nothing special. 3 stars.
