While popular movies like "Rebel Ridge" and "Uglies" have dominated Netflix’s top 10 over the past week, a thrilling crime drama based on a true story has made a surprising entrance, landing on the streamer on September 16 and currently sitting at No. 7 (although it could creep higher). "American Gangster" is the movie in question, and it seems to be finding a new audience on the streaming service.
With an impressive cast, including Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, the movie brings you into the gritty world of organized crime and the complexities of law enforcement. This crime thriller was actually considered underrated during the 2000s due to the overwhelming focus on blockbuster franchises. However, it’s getting the attention it deserves now that it’s generating traction on the big red streamer.
