Denzel Washington's charm in American Gangster can persuade anyone to delve into the many crime epics of cinema. Here are some films to start with.
American Gangster, an epic crime movie starring Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, and directed by Ridley Scott, tells the compelling true story of Harlem crime boss Frank Lucas, leading many viewers to seek out other films like it. The film was a box office success, but hasn't reached the same levels of popularity as other films in the same genre, or from the same director or stars.
8 Once Upon A Time In America Truly an epic in both its scale of drama and its four-hour run time, Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America continued the director's line of exceptional work, for the first time in the crime genre. While the film has received some justified criticism for its disturbing sexual assault scenes, there are still reasons for a fan of the genre to dive into this epic crime movie.
5 Road To Perdition For Tom Hanks fans, crime isn't the first genre they might look toward to see the actor shine, but he certainly does. Hanks proves he can do anything as Mike Sullivan in Road to Perdition. The film is a tale of revenge, seeing Tom Hanks face off against one of the all-time great movie stars, Paul Newman. The cast is also filled to the brim with Ciarán Hinds, Jude Law, Daniel Craig, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Stanley Tucci in supporting roles.
