Lucky enough to see an advance showing of this and man is it a great freakin' movie. I'm a huge gangster movie fan and this really is probably the best gangster movie I've seen since Casino. It has a pretty standard crime movie plot but it's the craft of this one that elevates it above most other films in the genre. I have issues with Ridley Scott sometimes (see the #1 movie on my worst ever list for proof) but he's hit it out of the park with this one. The cast is astounding, the script is wonderful, the music is great, and it flows like a dream. If you like gangster pictures or crime films in general GO SEE THIS MOVIE. You won't be disappointed.

American Gangster Review comment

Good to finally see a real review. You say it is the best since Casino. Do you think Goodfellas or Casino is better?
