Academy Award® winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe team with director Ridley Scott (Gladiator) for an epic story as powerful as it is true. Armed with ruthless, street-wise tactics and a strict sense of honor, crime boss Frank Lucas (Washington) rules Harlem’s chaotic drug underworld. When outcast cop Richie Roberts (Crowe) sets out to bring down Lucas’s multi-million dollar empire, it plunges both men into a legendary confrontation.

Is there an actor today with a better track record than Russell Crowe? He just doesn’t make a bad movie!

I got a copy of this shortly after I posted upthread, and I got through maybe half of it and still haven’t finished it. Going to have to do that soon since it’s gotten such great reviews across the board.
