Denzel Washington rarely delivers a turkey. But in Ridley Scott's new classic, Washington (as drug-smuggler Frank Lucas) not only serves up the bird, he's master carver in a twisted all-American dream. Seen with his large brood in his mansion in North Carolina, Lucas might as well be the subject of a Norman Rockwell illustration on the cover of <i>The Standard Evening Post</i>. Too bad for him, Turkey Day doesn't taste nearly as dreamy behind bars.
