Attention everyone who is giving this a bad review!!!! YOU ARE IDIOTS!!! know why??? because this was based on a true story.... hello.... get that through your thick 'this is so boring and unoriginal' skulls! it is original because it actually happened, plus it happened way before most of the movies your comparing it to were even made. get a life and get the facts straight. This story is an amazing one, it tells us about an actual person who went from being at the bottom to making his way to the top. Frank Lucas went from being a driver to a "mob boss" bigger than the Italians; which is a huge deal. This portrayal of Frank Lucas' life was magnificent, Denzel did a fantastic job and portrayed every emotion with complete clarity and utter brilliance. And even though Lucas was kind of a butt face he knew what he wanted and how to get it, he was an advocate for himself, his family and unlike most mobs he had morals and values he stuck with!!!
