Movie Review: American Gangster


I suppose I admire some level of a man who can sort out the business of being a gangster so well by observing the reality and working around it. Denzel Washington plays the lead with Russell Crowe as the cop who finds a way to bring him down.

Based on a true story about corrupt cops and the Harlem gangsters who pay them off and work the system. Seems like people in a lawless lifestyle never really get it. They're just a pissed off mood away from gettin shot in in the head. Some put on nice suits and pretend they're something different from just an asshole hurting other assholes.

Look in Coos Bay, Myrtle Point and Dora for the DVD.
