American Gangster (2007) 4/5

An overall pretty good movie with two things I took a little issue with. One, I would have preferred a less fluffed ending, it almost seemed like the close out of a buddy-buddy film. Second, and I know I would get a lot of push back for this, I think Denzel didn’t give it his best. Denzel is great, so his decent is still pretty good, but I think he could have leaned in more at certain beats to drive home the stories intent.
