American Gangster

Let's start out with the title of the movie being the worst title I can remember, at least since "Earth Girls are Easy".

Denzel plays the protege' of a mafia type don who dies, and Denzel decides to take the heroin operation global.

Same time, telephone throwing egomaniac Crowe is Serpico. So plug Godfather part II, and Serpico together, and you get:

"Jaws with Paws."

I am over and hour and a half in this slow mover and Crowe and Washington have not had one scene together. Crowe's New York accent is not good, and why could they have not found an actor with a New York accent for the part? I hate that. No actors in NY?
There was a scene where Denzel ALMOST kissed his white girlfriend but, no it turned into a hug (he won't do it, that's why he did not kiss Julia Roberts in Pelican Brief).

It really is slow and clunky compared to either masterpiece Serpico or GF II.
