American Gangster comes to DVD on Feb 19th from Universal Studios Home Entertainment and M&C is giving away five copies of the Two-Disc Collector’s Edition.
Inspired by a true story, American Gangster, the grippingly intense crime-thriller acclaimed by critics and audiences as one of the best films of 2007, will be available in two versions on the exclusive American Gangster 2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition DVD that includes both an unrated, extended movie with over 18 additional minutes and an alternate ending PLUS the original theatrical film.
Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe team with director Ridley Scott (Gladiator) in this powerful epic story.

When outcast cop Richie Roberts (Crowe) sets out to bring down Lucas’s multimillion-dollar empire, both men are plunged into a legendary confrontation.
