I can recall a few gangster movies that were based on true events but were done way better than American Gangster. Those that come to mind :

-Carlito's Way
-A Bronx Tale
-Goodfellas
-American Me

AG is a good movie but could have been a lot better with some more suspense and action elements. Denzel & Russel were great but I was hoping for a 'Training Day' like performance from Denzel..:)

I guess it was how Ridley envisionned it....

Totally agree with you Tinear.....Now, if it was Denzel - Audio Pharaoh 21:27:18 11/05/07 (0)

took far too long for Denzel and Crowe to have a scene and - Duilawyer 10:26:38 11/04/07 (0)

I do not believe Crowe's character could have been both investigating officer and prosectuor. - Duilawyer 10:29:14 11/04/07 (0)

Yes, a true story but, as the promos say, parts are fictionalized. Doesn't matter, - tinear 15:01:42 11/03/07 (0)
