Mr. Untouchable

Don't believe the hype behind American Gangster. "There's too much fantasy in there, too much Hollywood," says real-life drug kingpin Leroy "Nicky" Barnes, speaking from somewhere deep inside the witness-protection program. "It's all bullshit! They made it like Frank Lucas was running everything." Barnes should know: He ruled Harlem like a feudal lord in the 1970s — and was played by the tissue-soft Cuba Gooding Jr. in Ridley Scott's film. For the real inside story of the white-powder biz, watch the documentary Mr. Untouchable, out now, which chronicles Barnes' rise and fall. The film perfectly captures an era of ruthless players strolling over junkies nodding out in the ghetto. Plus there's a bonus conversation with Barnes and Gangster subject Lucas, in which the two rivals discuss snitching and Rudolph Giuliani, toward whom Barnes feels genuine affection. "After I began cooperating, law enforcement proved far more honorable than the hustlers — in particular Giuliani. He got me out of the joint."
