Ridley Scott tackles yet another genre, and re-invents it.

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2008)

You won't find a more versatile director than Ridley Scott. Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Hannibal, Kingdom of Heaven DC and Now American Gangster. A film that rivals Scarface for Raw Power, and Tightly wound storytelling. As for Versatility, the mans catalogue speaks for itself, each one of those films are acclaimed in their respective genre's.
Densel Washington nails the role, giving us a frighting yet like-able characterization of Frank Lucas, Crowe also nails his respective role without a hitch.
Not more to be said, its amazing with the subject matter how beautifully it unfolds.
