One of the most underrated crime thrillers has just fallen out of Netflix's top 10 – and it's based on a shocking true story

While popular films like Rebel Ridge and Uglies dominated Netflix's top 10 last week, a thrilling crime drama based on a true story made a surprise appearance. It landed on the streamer on September 16 and currently sits at No. 7 (though it could climb higher). The film in question is American Gangster, and it seems to be finding a new audience on the streaming service.

Featuring an impressive cast including Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, the film takes you into the gritty world of organized crime and the complexities of law enforcement. This crime thriller was actually considered underrated in the 2000s due to the overwhelming focus on blockbuster franchises. However, now that it's gaining traction on the big red streamer, it's getting the attention it deserves.
