American Gangster

This movie is amazing. The story line and the direction is incredible. Denzel Washington puts on another academy award winning performance. This movie is so many genres put into one. First, it's set in the 1970's. It has several cultures reflected in it--italian, african american, mofia, drugs, corruption, cops/detectives. I love how this story shows two different points of view of the same story. I can't believe its based on a true story. I also noticed that Russell Crow is doing another whistleblower role. He really has his American accent set. It was hard to watch the dirty needles and the gun fire, but aside from that I did enjoy this one. Good job to Ridley Scott.
