American Gangster: New American Classic....

Posted by mr grits on November 2, 2007 at 17:57:06:
Ridley has done it again. He's given us a great film about a bold, negro gangster and a Jersey police detective charged with bringing down drug kingpins. We see their parallel stories as Denzel rises to top drug lord and Crowe pursues him as best he can.

The film is in the neighborhood of three hours and completely compelling. This is not another Harlem shoot-out but a fully developed story that hits all the significant high spots of Denzel building his empire from his trips to Thailand to doing deals with the Italians (Assante, who else?) to make things happen. Oh, let's not forget NYC's particularly sleazy police force of 60's and 70's.

Great cast and performances get kudos all around, especially for Denzel's momma who has a surprising dramatic scene with her errant son. Perhaps the weakest link is the actress playing Denzel's wife.

One of the year's best, no doubt. This and Jesse will be duking it out for nominations.
