Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Ridley Scott's gangster flick aims high and mostly measures up.
– Bob Mondello,

fresh:
Like much of his oeuvre, Scott's scaled-up movie is bigger than life - and lesser for it. But while never digging deeply or darkly enough to match its own grand vision of itself, slick technique drives the story forward with pace and style.

rotten:
How much truth we get in the movie version is hard to say...nobody much cares if it's gospel, as long as it's riveting. Here, alas, it is not.
– Jonathan F. Richards,

rotten:
For all its grit, style and atmosphere, Gangster never sweeps you away. It has neither the lurid bravado of De Palma's "Scarface" nor the intimate grasp of the criminal lifestyle you find in Scorsese or Coppola.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,

fresh:
Washington's steely grip on his impersonation of Frank Lucas holds the film together.
