Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review A slow burning, yet entirely gripping, mobster film, IAmerican Gangster/I pits Denzel Washington's Frank Lucas against Russell Crowe's law enforcer Richie Roberts. Spread over a necessarily prolonged running time, their story is then brutally, expertly, told. P And while IAmerican Gangster/I isn't in the league of prime Scorsese and Coppolla classics (such as IGoodfellas/I and IThe Godfather/I), it's the nearest we've come in quite some time to something of that ilk. It's all based on a true story, which does mean you need to forgive it some of its obvious narrative conventions, yet this also lends it a gravitas that the film eagerly makes the most of. P It's great too to see British director Ridley Scott tackling meatier material again. This is the man, after all, who gave us IBlade Runner/I, IAlien/I and IGladiator/I, and he duly delivers with IAmerican Gangster/I. His finest work it isn't, but an engrossing, explosive and hard-as-nails drama it absolutely is. P What's more, IAmerican Gangster/I is powered by two of the finest leading men working in Hollywood right now, and it's terrific to see Washington and Crowe on top form here. And while in cinematic terms it's hardly a film that treads new ground, it's nonetheless a proper, grown-up and engrossing movie, and a very good one at that. --IJon Foster/I

Customer Reviews: SUPERB EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE, DENZEL AT HIS BEST 6 STARS December 8, 2008 A. Ashmore (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Ladies and gentlemen if you are a fan of gangster movies, this is a must watch. I didn't believe it was possible but it has happened; A film has finally arrived, which can realistically compared to Scarface, The Godfather, Casino etc. br /This high budget and beutifully directed film has an amazing story line which catches you from start to finish, Denzel Washington the main character in the movie is perfectly suited to the Dominating gangster role which he plays. br /This film really is in another league compared to the current day gangster films, it has class style and a gripping story line, well well worth the money. If you have not had the luxury of seeing this superb film at the cinema, then I woud reccommend that you buy this great film. Best gangster movie since The Departed not so long ago! May 27, 2009 Dragonlord (Cornwall) Two great gangster films in one year weren't we extra lucky. This is Ridley Scott's best film since Gladiator and it has his eye for detail like in all his films. Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington are both outstanding. Ever since Alien and Blade Runner I have always look forward to seeing Ridley Scott films alot.
