Movie review: Solid performances in ?American Gangster?

One of Ridley Scott?s strengths is his ability to create a world, for instance ?Alien,? ?Blade Runner? and ?Gladiator,? and his skills are not limited to outer space, a dystopian future or the distant past. In ?American Gangster,? Scott makes the 1970s breathe again and with them the lives of real life gangster Frank Lucas and the detective who finally caught up with Lucas, Richie Roberts.
