American Gangster

Another film i had not seen before this summer. Two and a half hours without a wasted frame. An expertly crafted film telling two concurrent stories. Ridley Scott offers both a belated history-lesson and demented hero-worship, and seems to be intended as a kind of gift to black America.

  1. Denzel is a genius...one of my favourite actors. Have you seen the Taking of Pelham 123, the new one? If you get a chance to watch it do, him and John Travolta are amazing acting against each other.
