great stuff. now i want to buy season 3.

this covers some of the stories that you did not get in school, or even in some books. the news only covered it in bits and small chunks. some of these individuals were not big parts of history. they are not to be treated like superstars or gods. many of them came up like us, but they went down the dark way to gain a dollar. they got just what the deserved.

I love this.

I had previously seen these profiles on TV and just loved the show.
The indepth interviews,some of the footage aswell as these characters were being protrayed.
I was really intrigued by the stories of the individuals who were affected by the change in their life,atleast why it lasted.
The Hoods Robinhoods.

Great title for the movie

As far as thje movie goes its good information that alot people should know about before they read about that person in another public feature, books newspaper ect. It tells you the good bad about that person and thats good cause most people hear something or just read the the "American Gangster" title and asume that these people were just bad. Theres alot of good in these guys and i hope that other people will watch this movie and feel the same way towards these this movie...

One of the Best Cop & Robber Drama

If you like cop and robber movies, this is the one for you. You will find great suspense, drama and action in American Gangster. A NYC detective works to bring down the drug empire of Frank Lucas, who is smuggling the herion into the country in the coffins of dead soldiers returning from Vietnam.

Lucas was a country boy from the Carolinas who came up to New York and worked as driver and bodyguard for revered and feared Harlem crime lord Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson, one of the last of the great underworld bosses. Bumpy taught Lucas everything he knew, so that when he died of a heart attack in 1968, Lucas was ready to take the reins.
