Denzel is absolutely delicious in this movie! A far cry from his usual good guy roles. He plays a cold, heartless, original gangster with much love for his mother! I would definitely see this movie again even though Russel Crowe was unconvincing as the cop who brings Denzel down.
excellent movie
Bit heavier than absolutely necessary in the language and violence departments (but what movie isn't these days?). Denzel and co. offer compelling performances, despite russel crowe's incomplete and unconvincing grasp of the jersey accent, and the fact that his character is a little flat (not his fault!). all in all, it was worth the money and the 2.5 hours in the theatre.
Great gansta style movie with an host of outstanding actors and actresses!!
Great directing and coriography. a movie that stands alone among countless cinematic triumphs. Well done... Russel crowe is a loser though hate his acting.. but! that doesnt mean he didnt bring something great to this movie Applause all around for American Gangster

one of the best protryal films since "Ray". A must see for any movie buff. Extremely entertaining.
Good movie....good acting by Denzel...long movie could have been shorter with perhaps a little more dramatics for entertainment purposes...
it was boring in the begining but then it got really interesting. Denzel Washington was really good in this movie. if i could just rate him, i would give him 5 stars.
best movie ever
