Whenever I think of American Gangster, I can't help but think of TheDeparted. In truth, the only similarities between the two movies is the late in the year release date, a full to the brim cast, a legendary director and the "Gangster" element. The plot and the tone of the movies will be very different indeed. American Gangster stars Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington, Cuba Gooding Jr, Josh Brolin, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Carla Gugino. I love these new posters. They have that feeling of Scarface about them, and those posters are killer. Looking forward to this. If it's as good as The Departed, then there won't be many movies better this year. Thanks to Imp Awards and JoBlo for the heads up!
