American Gangster

I was pleasantly surprised with this one. At first when I saw it was almost 3 hours long with Denzel as a gangsta I was a wee bit concerned. But once I was in it I didn't want it to stop. A very fascinating story especially since it is based on a true story. Now how much was fact or glammed out for the movie I'm not sure but I bought it. Everyone loves a good thug movie and this one had the unique perspective of the gangsta but also the men trying to bring him down and I thought the balance of both of those was good. Pay special attention to the text at the very end of the piece because I think that is just the neatest twist and that has to be factual so I thought that was fab.

Thug it out because its a good one if you are willing to give it the time. <3
