A thoroughly entertaining 157 minutes!

‘American Gangster’ delivers in every area it needs to. Enthralling premise, immaculate music, phenomenal casting and great pacing. I was surprised slightly with how it finishes, but it’s far and away from a disappointing/underwhelming conclusion.

Not much really needs to be said about Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. They’re exactly how you’d expect them to be, outstanding! Washington is fantastic as Frank, while Crowe is superb as Richie. You have to wait a while for their proper screen time together, but it’s worth the time it takes.

Away from the leads, you have a load of recognizable faces – I was literally that Rick Dalton meme for the first 45-60 mins! Chiwetel Ejiofor (Huey) and Josh Brolin (Trupo) have sizeable roles, though there’s also appearances from Carla Gugino (Laurie), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Nicky), Idris Elba (Tango) and Norman Reedus (Norman). Excellent casting, that!

I was expecting slow moments due to the run time, but there aren’t any – at least in my opinion. As noted, the way it ends is a tad differently to how I would’ve predicted, but I still enjoyed it alongside the rest of the it.

It might not be accurate on the real life Frank Lucas, but all that truly matters is does it excel as a film? Yes it does. Highly recommend!

Quite a disappointed since it is really as much as you expect, but nothing new.

Washington and Russell perform really well, so, as a characters movie, it works. It doesn’t work at all as a biopic. Too much Hollywood on it.

A Solid Film
Unfortunately from listening to everyone else I was expecting some sort of masterpiece. That is not what I believe what I got. Yet it was still a very good movie.

The acting performances were also good but not great. Denzel Washington gave a very good performance but not Oscar worthy, it felt like I have seen this before from him. Russell Crowe just was not given the room to actually act. I wish Crowe would have been given more of an opportunity to show off his talent. Josh Brolin gave the best performance as a corrupt police officer. He displayed perfectly the corrupt cop blackmailing both sides for the benefit of himself. I do not really understand the Oscar nomination for Ruby Dee playing Frank Lucas mother. She barley even had a cameo in this movie. It is kind of sad to see how far Cuba Gooding Jr. has fallen not having much of a role in this movie.

What really kept this movie up and kind of brought it down was its steady flow and writing. It did show you some interesting things such as going to Vietnam and having a very unique and surprising place to smuggle in the drugs. Yet as I mentioned before the performances were good but not great because of the writing. I attribute this to the writing. Some of the writing did not allow some of the actors to expand as much as they could have on their roles.

Also the directing was very good but not great. Ridley Scott did show some interesting scenes and had good camera shot. The cinematography was good as well. Yet because the performances were not to great that brings him down because his job to guide arguably two of the best actors today.

This movie was a bit over-hyped but I would still recommend it. This probably could have received more recognition from the Oscars though.

“Out at home, baby!”
Somehow the real life story of Frank Lucas blew right by me. I recall the Knapp Commission investigation of police corruption during the 1970’s in New York City, but that had more to do with Frank Serpico and his story. This all happened around the same time the way it looks, and maybe the stories overlapped somehow, but I just don’t know.

One of the main takeaways I have of this film is how easily and widespread it is for our public servants, read cops, to get involved with dirty money. I had such a naive outlook growing up, but after years of hearing about corruption in law enforcement, politics, the government, you name your venue, and nothing comes as a surprise anymore. It sometimes makes me wonder how long civil society can keep hanging on by a thread, but I guess you just have to go back to the well of human decency and good will.

As for “American Gangster”, I found it to be a revealing look at how a poor kid from the South could rise up the ladder of organized crime and become a hero in his own back yard. However for one honest cop, where there’s a will, there’s a way. The intricacies involved in discovering the mastermind behind Blue Magic made for an intense and gripping story, as Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) exhibits a genius for undercover detective work while failing miserably as a husband and father. It’s interesting to speculate how much longer it might have taken to investigate Frank Lucas if he hadn’t worn that bodacious fur coat and hat to the Ali/Frazier fight. Uncharacteristically, we see Frank violate his own personal code and come to regret it.

In direct juxtaposition to Lucas’ savage grip on his organization, I’m always fascinated how major crime bosses live by their own unyielding code of honor. For Frank, it’s all about honesty, integrity, and hard work, but always within the parameters of his skewed world view. Which leads me to consider how a black crime kingpin rationalizes the damage he wreaks on his own people in the name of the almighty dollar. Why aren’t Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton railing about that? It’s just a confusing world out there.

As a crime film, this one is right up there with the best of them, both fictional and non-fictional. Based on a true story, this one brings added poignancy to the screen, knowing that the principals played out a real life drama in the seamy underbelly of New York’s Harlem.
