Editorial Reviews

In American Gangster, director Ridley Scott spins a yarn concerning a Harlem drug kingpin (Denzel Washington) who smuggles heroin into the country by hiding it in the bodies of U.S. soldiers killed during battle in Vietnam. There was a time when no one noticed reserved driver Frank Lucas (Washington), but when the criminal kingpin he was charged with transporting through the city streets suddenly dies, Lucas seizes the opportunity to build his own criminal empire. In the following months, Lucas solidifies his status as Harlem's most innovative drug dealer by delivering a product that is purer than the competitors' and cheaper, as well. When innovative businessman Lukas attempts to go semi-legit by becoming one of the Manhattan borough's biggest civil supporters, however, street-savvy outcast cop Ritchie Roberts (Russell Crowe) begins to sense a sizable shift in the hierarchy of the drug underworld. But Roberts is one of the few honest detectives operating within a corrupt system, and as he sets out to investigate the case, crooked detective Trupo (Josh Brolin) does everything in his power to compromise the integrity of his idealistic counterpart. Upon clearing all of the usual Mafia-connected suspects, Roberts begins to believe that a previously unknown black power player has come out of the woodwork to dominate the local drug trade. While Roberts and Lucas may be operating on opposite sides of the law, the one thing that both men have in common is a strict code of ethics that separates them from their opportunistic colleagues. Now, as a confrontation between the two men becomes inevitable and the fate of each becomes inexorably tied to the other, it gradually becomes apparent that only one of them will emerge from the conflict victorious.

February 11, 2009: what a great movie. i dont know how many times i have watched it (more than 5 if u count cable tv). i never knew this person even existed til i looked more n2, american gangsster here is a good movie 2 watch.

it begins by telling of ellssworth "bumpy" johnson (clarence williams). hes an intellgent black gangster who runs alot of harlem. he teaches his right hand man frank lucas (denzel washngton)about life. as the movie continues bumpy dies from a heart attack & guess who now is the boss? from there it tells of frank lucas life as a leader begins & is good ntil the end. if i am not mistaken the real frank lucas is still alive 2day.

russell crow ---- what a good comback. he plays richie roberts, a nrwaek, nj detective, whos takin law classes at night. he has personal problems of his own but doesnot let that stop him from capturin frank (& he does a good job).

i cant 4get there is a great role played by the legendary Ruby Dee. when they chose her, they chose the right person 4 that part.

Denzel Washingtonby nay
