Critic Reviews of "American Gangster"
I.E. WeeklyFebruary 03, 2008Scott's not interested in fireworks but small implosions of the soul and ego.
Time OutNovember 14, 2007Like much of his oeuvre, Scott's scaled-up movie is bigger than life - and lesser for it. But while never digging deeply or darkly enough to match its own grand vision of itself, slick technique drives the story forward with pace and style.
Film.comNovember 06, 2007How much truth we get in the movie version is hard to say...nobody much cares if it's gospel, as long as it's riveting. Here, alas, it is not.
NewsweekNovember 05, 2007For all its grit, style and atmosphere, Gangster never sweeps you away. It has neither the lurid bravado of De Palma's "Scarface" nor the intimate grasp of the criminal lifestyle you find in Scorsese or Coppola.
VarietyNovember 02, 2007Washington's steely grip on his impersonation of Frank Lucas holds the film together.
TheShiznit.co.ukNovember 03, 2012Though it's certainly admirable to aim high, it's like Frank Lucas himself says: "Either you're somebody, or you ain't nobody." Unfortunately for American Gangster, it ends up somewhere between the two.
Digital SpyJuly 14, 2011It's 157 minutes long, but immerses its audience with its twists and intricacies as it plays out and considers the logistics and consequences of crime and police corruption, with a plethora of show-stealing performances from the cast.
Matt's Movie ReviewsJuly 07, 2010American Gangster is an epic, true crime drama, that although not entirely original in its premise is excellent in its execution.
CinePassionAugust 27, 2009Flattened by Scott's cardboard evocation of New York in the '70s, Zaillian's shallow criticism of corrupting power, and weirdly bloodless performances
Fayetteville Free WeeklyFebruary 02, 2009When American Gangster was announced, with actors Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott, it seemed like a can't miss project. It missed.
