To date, I have yet to see a bad Denzel Washington movie. Granted, I like some (Training Day) more than others.

With Training Day in mind, American Gangster shows Denzel at his baddest - mean, calculating and very icy.

Add the amazing direction of Ridley Scott and a co-star like Russell Crowe and you have a POWERFUL combination.

The most fascinating thing about this movie for us (my wife and I are avid movie goers) was the parallel stories told on the screen. Not until the last 20 minutes of the film do you see Denzel and Crowe on in the same sceen!

Josh Brolin is also super as a greasy cop on the take, and Ruby Dee is awesome as Denzel's mom.

Talk has already begun about Dee winning a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. If I was voting, she'd be my pick.

Inciteful, gritty and an attention grabber, American Gangster is a must see movie.

Enjoy!
