Good, but not amongst the best of gangster movies

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2007)

Excellent work from Denzel Washington... Russel Crowe ( if not Ridley Scott) could have done better... Decent script and direction... A little hyped, if you go by the IMDb rankings... Nonetheless, one of the better movies in 2007. Ridley knows how to attract the crowd, all the family stuff( mother, wife, brothers etc.), for the American audience to be specific... And thankfully, not made for the Oscars... You are a movie buff, you got to watch it... I wonder why Cuba Gooding Jr. is present. I must say, not as good as "Once upon a time in America"( a recent watch ) which comes out to be comparable if not better to God Father.
