One of the films I am looking forward to this year is "American Gangster". It stars Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington who team up again after "Virtuosity". It is directed by Ridley Scott who did Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Blade Runner, and Alien. Also it is produced by Nicholas Pileggi who wrote "Casino" & "Goodfellas", two very good gangster movies by Martin Scorsese. So just from the cast and crew it already sounds like a great movie.
It is based on the true-story of Frank Lucas played by Denzel Washington who becomes a drug-kingpin in Harlem by selling heroin and imposing his violent will on people who got in his way. He would import heroin in coffins of dead soldiers from Vietnam and sell it in America. He made millions from these heroin trades. He was a big, powerful man who everyone feared but wanted to be like. So the government gets involved and tries to bring him down. So they assemble a team to surveillance Frank and build a case against him. Russell Crowe plays lawman Richie Roberts who is trying to bring him to justice.
This movie sounds like it will be great. I can not wait until November 2 comes out to see this movie. If you like the gangster type of movies or just like the actors you should without a doubt check out this movie.
