American Gangster

jayz was inspired by the movie and wrote the album

its not really a soundtrack per se

 

Glory,Training Day, Malcolm X,Remember the Titans= all vastly different characters....
You could also add in the movie he directed "Antoine Fisher" or "Manchurian Canidate" or the "Mighty Quinn" or "The Hurricane"

If you don't think Denzel is a fantastic actor you are in the minority. I would'nt go as far as to say you have a bad taste in movies, but.........

 

I dont mind watching Denzel play similar roles in movies, it's what he's done well in, and I enjoyed most of them.

Wow close to 3 hours long? Hmm

 

according to movies.com & movies.yahoo.com

it is 2hrs and 37mins

still lengthy

 

Best. Movie. Ever.

Denzel Washington is the John Wayne our time. He may disappoint in terms of the range in which you may expect for a great American actor, but what he did in this film I will remember for a lifetime.

Russell Crowe was as compelling as you would expect but Armand Assante should get consideration for best supporting actor in a very limited but powerful role.

American Gangster is a bad ass film.

 

Im gona go catch this flick tomm.

I'v been waiting for this one & I'm glad its looking like it'll live up to my expectations. (Which never happines)

 

I second this! Except the best movie ever part. That's reserved for something girly like "The Notebook".

 

Is that suppose to be funny? The Notebook is the best movie ever.

 

Denzel is my favorite actor. He is a badass. I disagree with Swoly's take 100%. Can't wait to see this movie.

 

Sweet. Can't wait to see this movie. I have a feeling it will be my favorite movie of all time.

 

denzel put out a nice string of generic roles, but that shouldn't taint how good his body of work is. i haven't seen a denzel movie since training day because they've all looked terrible but i'll see this tonight. i probably wouldn't if russell crowe wasn't in it though.

 

ill be the first to say it. was a lot like Blow.

still decent though

 

Just saw it and I enjoyed it. Some parents brought their 4 year old daughter to go watch it with them. Wtf...

 

Saw it, thought it was pretty good, pretty long though

 

it was a good movie, nothing really new or mindblowing but i'd get the dvd and watch it again. i think blow is a fair comparison but this one isn't quite as good.

imo, it didn't feel like a long movie which is a definite plus.

 

Good movie, but overhyped.
