Ridley and Tony Scott are two brothers. Both of them directed good movies (Tony: True Romance, Spy Game …; Ridley: Alien, Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down …) and bad movies (Tony: Domino (bruhahaha), Ridley: GI Jane). While I haven’t seen Tony’s latest work Deja Vu I enjoyed Ridleys newest masterpiece American Gangster yesterday.

That choice of words already spoiles my opinion. I was excited. The characters are well created, the actors brilliant chosen (I didn’t realize Cuba Gooding Jr. is in the movie, I never expected much of him …). The only flaw of the movie is the length. It is not boring, but long. I know, for an academy award the movie needs to be longer than 2 hours (not officialy), but I think it wasn’t really necessary here.

That’s why I give it 9 out of 10 points.
