American Gangster
American Gangster
Loosely based on the criminal career of Frank Lucas, a gangster from La Grange, North Carolina, who smuggled heroin into the United States on American service planes returning from the Vietnam War, before being detained by a task force led by Newark Detective Richie Roberts.

Incredible true story. Denzel is perfect per usual. Crowe excels as a straight-laced cop, as well. Outright crazy forms of smuggling.
