“American Gangster” may be my favorite Denzel Washington movie It's right between this movie and “Training Day” So when I say this is a must-see movie, I mean it
Based on the life of criminal Frank Lucas, the film stars Washington as a Harlem drug lord The film follows Lucas' rise in the New York drug trade, thanks to the popularity of Blue Magic, a brand of heroin imported directly from Thailand and purer than competing products That popularity comes at the cost of catching the eye of Newark detective Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe)
Washington's tactics are tremendous, as are the performances of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Josh Brolin, Idris Elba, and many other fine actors You will not regret taking a few hours out of your day to watch this Ridley Scott masterpiece
