Riveting!

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2007)

In a word, that's it. Riveting! Should receive Oscars. A good movie is one that holds my interest all the way. American GANGSTER never skipped a beat. Denzel Washington's and Russell Crowe's performances are first-rate. Ruby Dee, too. The music is fantastic. I mean, there was nothing I did not like about it. Normally, I would not go to a movie about the drug trade, especially ones that contain a lot of violence. I decided to see American GANGSTER on my brother's recommendation that it was the best movie he had seen in months. I do like well-done movies that are based on true events, even if the movie makers do not accurately portray the true story. I'm glad I did not believe the critics.
