What American Gangster Is About
Ridley Scott's 2007 film follows Frank Lucas, who takes over the drug trade in Harlem in the seventies. Running alongside is Richie, the detective pursuing him. The two lines do not meet for a long time. The film gives the crime and the investigation equal weight; the narrative builds Lucas's method like a company. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe lead. It rests on real events, and some former federal agents sued, saying the film misrepresented them. The violence is hard. Who it's for: those who like crime drama. Who it's not for: viewers seeking historical accuracy; part of the account is disputed.
