Plot of American Gangster
Following the death of his employer and mentor, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Lucas establishes himself as the number one importer of heroin in the Harlem district of Manhattan. He does so by buying heroin directly from the source in South East Asia and he comes up with a unique way of importing the drugs into the United States. As a result, his product is superior to what is currently available on the street and his prices are lower. His alliance with the New York Mafia ensures his position. It is also the story of a dedicated and honest policeman, Richie Roberts, who heads up a joint narcotics task force with the Federal government. Based on a true story.

I like the look of this! Great two actors and a true story…

Great movie, fairly long but Denzel and Russell feed off each other well as actors. A return to form for Rusty Crowe after a few bad performances on and off screen, playing the good cop.
Denzel is awesome as the ‘Drug Godfather’.
I can’t believe this is based on a true story, but it just goes to show that great stories are out there that have never been told…

I read some articles about the truth of this situation and Denzels character was one tough cookie, also what made him even meaner was that he did the drug carrying himself and he took on the Italians.
