Enjoyed it, although I tend to like "based on true story" sorts of movies. Did not know about Frank Lucas or the rampant police corruption of the time until watching this.

New York Times article on Frank Lucas and the movie.
Quoted: It was the early 1970s, and every week nearly four dozen American soldiers were returning home from Vietnam in flag-draped coffins. Frank Lucas, who ruled a crime empire in Newark and Harlem, had a plan: smuggle the purest Asian heroin he could find into New York, stashed inside those coffins.
