AMERICAN GANGSTER Ridley Scott's take on the first African American gangster to out do the Mafia by going to the source and buying heroin direct from the source, Denzil is simply magnificent as Lucas, totally believable with Crowe as the honest cop who brings him down. Also sheds light on the overwhelming corruption in NYC in the 70s. Lucas was able to offer heroin of much higher quality at less than half the normal street price, any more would be spoilers. Worth watching for the brief scenes of Washington and Crowe together.
