Script Review for Ridley Scott's "American Gangster," with Denzel & Russell
by Scott Weinberg | November 20, 2006
Discuss Article
The long-gestating "American Gangster" is presently being directed by Ridley Scott, and it stars Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. Also, there's a script review online that you can check out if you like.

Click here to visit LatinoReview.com and if you don't mind reading reviews of screenplays for movies that probably won't be out for another 8 or 10 months. (I'll bring you the link, but you can't make me read the article!)

Written by Steven Zaillian, "American Gangster" tells the story of a 1970s drug kingpin who made millions by smuggling drugs in the coffins of dead American soldiers. Yikes. (Denzel plays the drug lord; Crowe the cop!)

Scott-Crowe-Washington might be the best thing since Cream. Zaillian usually churns out powerful scripts, but All The King's Men is a bomb. Not to mention that the plot isn't that original to begin with -Tom Clancy explored this in Without Remorse. Still, high hopes.

Why does Denzel always have to play the bad guy in Oscar-bait movies?
