    Re: American Gangster

    Just watched it last night, Denzel once again pulls out a great movie performance. The movie was so so tho, but I did enjoy it mostly b/c of Denzel.

    I thought Crowe was fine but I can see where he wasn't completely needed.

      I saw it last night, it was good, but not great. Denzel was Denzel, meaning he could phone it in and still be awesome.

      Wow, he was a brutal guy though.

          Yeah, I didn't mean to knock the movie in any way. It was a really good movie. I just didn't leave feeling like I did after The Departed, or Goodfellas, or other "classic" mob movies.

              I'm convinced Denzel is a evil person. No one is that good of an actor to pull off a bad guy like he does. The way he smiles and still says those evil things scares the crap out of me.

              Saw it last night... I enjoyed it quite a bit... The action sort of reminded me of Munich, short but intense burst spread throughout the movie.

              While it wasn't my favorite movie, it was well worth the seven dollars.

                Just got around to seeing this for the first time (on HDDVD) and thought it was fantastic. Denzel was amazing obviously, but the supporting cast was great as well. I don't get the complaints with Crowe in this movie. He wasn't supposed to be the standout in this movie, more of the quiet detective, but once he became head of the drug unit, I thought he did great.

                Good to see Idris Elba in a small role in this as well. Well, that is, until he
