A no-brainer. The movie itself is just awesome, a must have for everyone who loves gangster movies. The extras are a nice plus so make sure to get the quality of Blu-ray if you have a Blu-ray player.

crime drama
This is a great crime film with great performances from Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe as crime boss and determined cop. Nice extras but the quality could have been better but at the price I paid this is a minor issue, and its still a fab piece of filmwork from Ridley Scott.

Very good Ridley Scott film
American Gangster is a very good film, and I got it for a total bargain! The disc is packed with extras and you get both the Theatrical and Extended cuts (extended cut is 3 hours long!) too. Well worth a buy and definitely pick it up if you like Casino, Heat, Scarface, Goodfellas, Carlito's Way etc!

Bring it on, Denzel !!!!
What a cracking film!!! If you have about 3 hours to spare...(and you don`t mind a numb bum!!!) certainly watch this!!!! Denzel Washington is a brilliant actor, as it is....but this film is so "bad guy/ good bad guy"!!!! If you don`t love Denzel now, you`ll love him later...Superb!!! WATCH IT!!!!

Worth Watching
This is a good solid film and well worth watching. Set in the 1970's the film has a very grey colour tone to it which in my opinion doesnt allow the blu-ray to weave its magic. Like i said a good film, im note sure if worth buying on blu-ray.
