Hoodlum
Oscar nominees Laurence Fishburne, Tim Roth, and Andy Garcia set the screen ablaze in this riveting crime thriller exploding with spectacular gun battles and brutal action. In 1930's New York, Bumpy Johnson rules the Harlem numbers racket with a rare combination of honor, dignity, and strength. But when savage gangster, Dutch Schultz, threatens his reign with a series of bloody attacks, Bumpy knows that the only way to win is to play Dutch's deadly game. As a vicious war spins madly out of control, so does Bumpy's personal life, and soon the mobster realizes that his only way out is to instigate a dangerous plan involving one of the most feared and powerful gangsters in history... mob chieftain Lucky Luciano. Featuring outstanding supporting performances by Vanessa Williams and the legendary Cicely Tyson, Hoodlum is a thrilling, electrifying and suspense-filled adventure.

Ok good - miss_Wesker
This movie is good.
Great story, the movie was well produced.
I am not a fan of Laurence Fishburne, he was great as Morpheus in The Matrix, but apart that i am not a fan, but he is still an ok actor.
I do not really see talent as an actress in Vanessa William, i am not sure why, ill say she is ok, but i do not ''feel'' real talent here, but she tries/tried and for that ill say she's ok, but still i do not see much in her.
Andy Garcia is an interesting and good actor, i didnt see alot of movies with him, but each movies i saw with him in them, he was great.
We didnt see enough of Tim Roth in this movie, and his role was a bit too... exagerated, but he was ok.
If you like mafia movies, i recommend it, but knows that few scenes are cheap, well its how i felt for some scenes.B - Grade Movie - Tinkerbe11
Well sorry to say that I couldn't even finish this one. There was a lot of great actors in this movie but they just couldn't pull it off. I wasn't caught up in the movie at all. The movie is very slow moving and just a little off. I wouldn't say don't watch it, but have a back up movie just in case.
