Ultimately dissapointing... , 27 June 2008
  • American Gangster
  • American Gangster on DVD (2007)
    Starring: Denzel Washington,  Russell Crowe,  Josh Brolin
    Director: Ridley Scott
    Certificate: Certificate: 18
    I was very excited to watch this film as the high standard of film making that we have come to expect from these masters of their arts; Ridley, Denzel and Russell, was a mouthwatering collaboration. In many respects they do deliver, the characters, direction and funky soundtrack are great, although it is hard to rid yourself of the nagging feeling that you have seen it all before somewhere. However, as with Kingdom of Heaven before it, the impact is lost in the editing. Again it seems that Ridley made a better film than the one that was released to us. The most exciting, if perhaps implausible, plot twist when the central characters team up together is brilliant but bafflingly reduced to a montage sequence in the final 15 minutes of the film. What could have been the heart of the movie is sidelined to an after thought, as if they tried to include too much and ran out of time for the essence of the movie. A shame, but definately worth a watch.
