Thebest streaming serviceson the market don’t just have the newest releases, after all, and an actor like Washington is the perfect example of how a back catalogue can be a huge asset.American Gangstersets him up in a leading role and lets him loose to do some of his very best work.
Washington plays Frank Lucas, a chauffeur to a big crime boss who spots an opportunity to fill a power vacuum and does so quite brilliantly. He’s not necessarily going to get it all his way, and another big Scott collaborator, Russel Crowe, plays a detective who’s absolutely determined to bring Lucas down.

It’s a pretty fantastic watch, too, with the cat-and-mouse elements that make so many stories of criminal enterprise sing. Lucas' smarts and strategy are charming enough to keep him ahead for so long, and you’ll be left guessing as to his and his accomplices' fates for quite a while.
If gangster movies appeal, or you’re filling out your knowledge of Denzel Washington’s career, this is a must-see, so be sure to jump on to Netflix and get it viewed before it disappears on 31 January.
