American Gangster

American Gangster, finally got to watch the movie, I haven’t read the reviews or anything for once because the mere fact that Denzel Washington was in it was enough motivation and then add to that Russell Crowe man!!! one could’nt  ask for a better star cast. And , this being review n all I really need not write anything about the acting or performance of the two dudes in question for they can resurrect even a dead scipt with their skill and talent, though it always amazes me how a Denzel looking so much a gentleman and known for playing such roles pulls off wicked roles of bad guys, he such a great actor, but I still rate his role as a corrupt cop in “Training Day” as WOW!!.

This is a typical Hollywood ” a true story” genre movie, has all the right ingredients where you realise life as an honest policeman ( Russell ) sucks and the Gangster is cool and very impressive. I liked the movie it was good go watch it won’t disappoint you. But, what struck me as the “moment” in the film was when the special Attorney is flabbergast and utterly stunned when he comes to know that the biggest drug lord ,the most powerful drug lord, the richest and most dangerous drug lord in the whole of United States is a black man and african american and not an Italian or Russian or any other Gangsters. It showed how that race was treated and what impression was there in the mindset of the people that these people couldn’t do anything other than meanial smal jobs and success in anything field was not even dreamt of.

Denzel Rocks so does the million dollar returning Russell.
