American Gangster Review
Author: RL
It's no secret now that an early copy of American Gangster leaked last week to everyone's surprise (ironically so did most of Hov's album).
I'm not going to give an outlandish review on the movie because everyone will take something different out of it as I noticed watchin it with a few people.
I can tell you both Denzel & Russell gave outstanding performances that will be mentioned during Oscar season. There's also a lot...and I mean a lot of cameos!!! You'll be like, "Oh shit...oh shit...yoooo look who it is!!" throughout the whole movie.
Overall the story was great, acting was great. I wasn't as familiar with Frank Lucas' character as i was with the Rich Porters or AZ's, etc. But that itself made the movie more entertaining to me as to how everything unfolds with his family and with NY finest.
