7. American Gangster (2007)
This is completely 100% carried by a monumental performance from Denzel Washington. Russell Crowe (who’s a Ridley Scott staple) is great too as the cop who tries to bring Frank Lucas (Washington) down, but it’s all about the Denzel. This is a guy you don’t want to mess with: he’s vicious as he is smart. The film is slow at times, and the other characters leave a lot to be desired, but it’s Denzel’s performance that make this one of Ridley Scott’s more fascinating character pieces.
