In a role that earned her a nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role at the 80th Academy Awards, Ruby Dee provides American Gangster’s moral backbone as the mother of an East Coast drug kingpin (Denzel Washington) who has turned a blind eye to her son’s illegal activities for long enough. This sweeping biographical epic, based on real-life Harlem-based heroin trafficker Frank Lucas, was shot on-location in all five boroughs of New York City using handheld cinematography to lend an authentic vibe to this well-received, true-life story.
