I didn't like it enough to rank it as one of the best movies I've ever seen, but it was really, really good. Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe played their parts very well. The story was long and complex and didn't get boring for an instant. The supporting cast of characters was really strong and overall it was just an extremely well put together package.

Anyone who is a fan of drama, mobster movies, or really, just something to grab your attention for two hours, American Gangster is a great choice. My roommates and I agreed that the worst thing about the movie is probably that it doesn't have the badass music from the trailer in it.
