American Gangster (2007)

I watched this movie last weekend, and it is one of the outstanding movies for this year.

2 of the great actors that I love watching and they are great in this movies, especially Denzel Washington such an amazing actor that but his special touch in any movie he works in.

Based on the life of drug-kingpin-turned-informant, Frank Lucas, who grew up in segregated North Carolina where he watched as his cousin was shot by the Klan for looking at a white girl. He eventually made his way to Harlem where he became a heroin kingpin by traveling to Asia's Golden Triangle to make connections, shipping heroin back to the US in the coffins of soldiers killed in Vietnam. He soon made upwards of one million dollars a day in drug sales. Lucas was shadowed by lawman, Richie Roberts, who finally helped bring the kingpin to justice. The two then worked together to expose the crooked cops and foreign nationals who made importing heroin so easy.

The movie wasn't about someone in specific as they show his life, it was more about viewing a situation at that period of time, talking about certain cases.

I liked the story line , even though sometimes it was very quickly and missing some details but it was a great showDenzel Washington was really great, and even that he and Russell Crowe didn’t face a lot but still the parts they faced in the movie was good and short in details ! The movie over all is great.

My Rate - 9/10
