Roger Ebert on American Gangster
Saw American Gangster a few days ago. This line from Roger Ebert sums up the movie beautifully:
The film ends not with a “Scarface“-style shootout, but with Frank and Richie sitting down for a long, intelligent conversation, written by Zaillian to show two smart men who both know the score. As I hinted above: less “Godfather” than “Wall Street,” although for that matter a movie named “American Gangster” could have been made about Kenneth Lay.
I highly recommend this movie.
