what Screen Rant Said about American gangster:

American Gangster is a compelling and fascinating look at Lucas’ rise to power, punctuated by amazing performances from Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. While Crowe was excellent, losing himself in yet another role, Denzel was mesmerizing despite the fact that he played essentially the same person in many films, except with a darker twist. The man is simply profound and wonderful to watch on screen. – American Gangster Review
