Scott is something of a romantic at heart. His film is nowhere near as jaded or as hard-bitten as the '70s films such as The French Connection or Serpico that it hopes to echo. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Something akin to a time warp, stepping back into a time of higher filmmaking integrity and more personal visions. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- American Gangster is an epic, true crime drama, that although not entirely original in its premise is excellent in its execution. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Here's a startlingly original true-life story told in an oddly unoriginal way. And that attempt at instant classic status in the title doesn't quite convince. It's got no more dark grandeur than American Idol. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- A highly entertaining crime epic that may feel a little familiar, but succeeds thanks to the star power of its two leads. Full Review

Product Description:

This box set caters to fans of classic American gangster pictures, with three films from that genre. ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER (1946) stars Paul Muni as a mobster who makes a deal with the Devil but finds that love makes him incapable of doing evil; LADY GANGSTER (1942) concerns a tough moll (Faye Emerson) who gets in way over her head when she botches a bank heist and attempts to trade her freedom for a knowledge of the money's whereabouts. Finally, GANGS INC. (1941) concerns a beautiful woman who plays the fall girl for her boyfriend following a hit and run incident, then grows hardened from prison life and emerges as a tough and wily criminal.
