This is one of my favorite Russell Crowe performances precisely because it's so low-key but still so effective. He's one of the more frightening villains I've seen in recent years because he underplays the part. I also love to see Mark Strong in anything, and he was extremely menacing here. Even Leonardo DiCaprio, in my estimation, was good. That said, though, this is a "performance piece" for me -- the movie is OK, the direction is OK, but the acting is what elevates the whole thing. .-= M.

American Gangster was excruciatingly long. It felt like watching the hip-hop equivalent of the Ten Commandments. You're really upset when three hours have passed and you haven't even put in the second VHS. Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe and Leo DiCaprio never make films without eachother anymore. Why is that? But Russell Crowe is the GLADIATOR!!!!
