We watched American Gangster last night.

I liked it a lot. It’s a compelling story as a movie alone but knowing that Frank Lucas and Richie Roberts are real people and this case was real made it fascinating to watch.

I highly recommend it, but know that the subject matter is disturbing and violent, the language is adult, there is nudity and one sex scene.

AG gets 4 stars.

Bonus: A Charlie Rose interview with the real Frank Lucas, Richie Roberts, and writers Marc Jacobson and Nicholas Pileggi.
