nothing special

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2009)

i have no idea why this film is rated so good. Russell Crowe was really boring which i don't usually say and Denzel Washington wasn't up to much either. i think the reason why iv rated this low is because it doesn't even come close to other gangster films like..... Casino, Godfather films, Scarface, Goodfellas, Departed and Carlito's way.... all these films I've mentioned have a real classic feel and will be remembered. American gangster just isn't good or anything like a classic. i also have no idea why this is rated 8.0 ! there must be something pulling people in with this film, it just didn't pull me in. its a 180 minute bore fest...... 4/10.....j.d Seaton
