After a week of procrastination, I finally got back on track with my Ridley Scott marathon and watched ‘American Gangster’. Once again, another not-groundbreaking but definitely solid movie from the director.
It has to be said that I think this film isn’t wholly original or inventive in its narrative approach to its true story. In that regard, it’s somewhat reminiscent of other crime sagas like ‘Goodfellas’ and ‘Casino’. However, I also think that this film is resoundingly sturdy in its execution of its narrative approach. It stands at two hours and 36 minutes, but it never found me bored or disengaged, nor did I particularly feel the length of the runtime.
I am beginning to think that Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington are a pair of ever so sightly overrated actors (a controversial statement, I know) but are still great nevertheless. Here, I felt they lead a fine cast with two strong performances of their own.
Overall, I’d say this gangster movie is an almost faultless and highly recommendable one, especially if you like films of a similar ilk 🇺🇸
In my opinion, ‘American Gangster’ is…
𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲
I give the movie…
