Re: American Gangster
"Though the linked article did sound like they cleaned Lucas up."
Well, Denzel Washington is playing him. That said, they show his dark side. Without giving away anything, they show him committing heinous acts and they show the consequences of his drug pushing. I haven't seen the American Gangster episode featuring Mr. Lucas, but one suspects that he is not quite the person that Denzel Washington portrays in a major Hollywood movie (nor, for that matter, that the man that Russell Crowe portrays is not quite like his portrayal either).
