American Gangster
Includes both the 158 minute Theatrical Version and the 177 minute Unrated Extended Edition on one disc!
Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe team with director Ridley Scott (Gladiator) in this powerful, epic story. Armed with ruthless, streetwise tactics and a strict sense of honor, crime boss Frank Lucas (Washington) rules Harlem's chaotic drug underworld. When outcast cop Richie Roberts (Crowe) sets out to bring down Lucas's multimillion dollar empire, it plunges both men into a legendary confrontation. American Gangster is "a brutal and brilliant film" (Pete Hammond, Maxim).

Good movie!! - jeantifool
Good thrilling movie. Better than GoodFellas for sure. I love how everything happens, I'm not saying more. This is just to provide the fifty words that are obligatory for the reviews. Oups okay a little bit more. I should be at fifty now... Peace!! Fiftya Classic - FieroGT
This is a very good movie Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe are great here. This is not really a violent film although there is some it is a well told and well made film and strangely it is based on a real character. The bonus disc is also worth the rent the extra features tell the rest of the story. If you like this type of movie this is one of the better ones I have watched and at almost three hours long if goes by at a quick paceSame Ol' Yet it Works! - penguinsrock09
Even though it had the same old story line as every gangster movie ever made (the rise, the glory, the big fall) it was well worth the watch. The actual story behind Frank Lucas was very interesting and well portrayed. It's a long movie but it does keep you interested and engaged through most of the film. If you like this genre of film then you will certainly walk away happy with this one.
