One Paragraph Review: American Gangster

As American as apple pie, baseball and a burlesque show is the good gangster flick. Frankly, cinema isn't much worth it unless there's a big crime drama centered around the good guys and the bad guys. Except you usually like the bad guys more than the good guys. But you know the good guys have to do the job they have to do. Of course, the bad guys have to fall because we all know crime doesn't pay. This is all a roundabout way of saying that American Gangster totally lived up to the franchise of the American crime drama. It was pretty awesome. And just to remind you of that they put American in the title.
