American Gangster (2007)

February 18th, 2008

If you’re nuts about Hollywood cops and robbers movies from the 70’s, such as The French Connection, you might like this.

I thought it was tiresome and stupid. And waaaay too long. A cynical money-grab by the usually respectable leads, Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. How much money do these guys need?

Grrr. Probably win a bunch of Oscars.
