Then I read up on what was accurate and inaccurate. Apparently, a lot of stuff was inaccurate.

Ex.: frank lucas was flamboyant and nicky barnes was the more low key one out of the two.

Frank Lucas didnt marry ms. Puerto Rico. She didnt win a pageant, she happen to be from Puerto Rico

Frank Lucas wasn't bumpy Johnson's driver for 15 years. Bumpy barely knew him, and was only someone that held bumpy's coat from time to time.

You like the scene when he puts a bullet in tango's head in broad daylight on busy street? Then sits down at the diner table with his brothers like nothing happened? Lol

It's obvious much of the film was embellished, especially if you've ever seen any interviews with the real frank Lucas...he comes off as little more than as ex street-wise hustler.

But it still doesn't detract from how reaatchable the movie is, as mentioned. It's a classic Denzel performance, you can tell he goes into Training Day mode once or twice, but he pulls off the controlled criminal leader great.

And Aside from the suits, That black Lincoln was especially cool, too.

Realistic factor of 10% or 90%, it’s a fricking boss flick.
