I believe Denzel is the best actor in Hollywood right now. If you don't agree after watching Man On Fire, just wait until you get a hold of American Gangster. A must see. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I really don't like these types of movies but this one was just great. I loved the actors and the plot flowed so well. It just don't know what else to say. You have to see the movie for yourself.

I think Denzel did a great job of portraying Frank Lucas, as did Russel Crowe for Richie Roberts. Doing some research on this movie before I saw the movie, it was pretty much on key to what I read.

This movie was so good that clocking in over 2 1/2 hours wasn't "too long". It's one of those rare movies that every scene was a good (or great) scene.
When the movie ended and they showed the "Where are these (real) people now..." graphic, it put so much punch into true magnitude and expanse of this story. Without giving away how the two main adversaries ended up, I loved it and (although it's a bit surprising) the facts backed it up. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This movie got a lot of good hype, but honestly I didn't like it. There really wasn't a lot of good action, the story really sucked, and it was long and dragged out. I expected a lot more. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Over-hyped movie, too lengthy for what could have been a classic gangster movie. Acting is just ordinary and storytelling doesn't raise your thriller instincts, except for the last half hour. ...

Read MoreHowever, this movie didn't blow too much. Although my eyes got heavy sometimes, it was still pretty enjoyable. This could have been Medellin-like in that it felt like a 3 hour epic. Luckily, it wasn't too contrived and kept the slow motion dramic scenes to a minimum. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
