American Gangster*** I went to watch Bewoulf in 3d-imax, but it was sold out So I ended up watching this instead. Though the movie was long, I never felt it was dragging at any stage. A very well made movie in terms of pacing and acting by both the lead stars. i usually get annoyed by Russel Crowe, but for a change I liked him in this role. Denzel Washington plays his usual well-mannered, smooth talking role to perfection. All the comparisons to Godfather are baseless though. Maybe superficially valid, but not really at any thematic level.
