A flawed but admirably ambitious gangster movie, Hoodlum aspires to be a kind of Harlem-based equivalent to The Godfather, and while it falls short of that lofty goal it's still got plenty of qualities to make it well worth seeing. It's the first film to tell the story of Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson (charismatically played by Laurence Fishburne), an ex-convict who dominated the Harlem numbers racket during the 1930s and '40s. As he rises to power he gains equally powerful enemies, including hotheaded Bronx gangster Dutch Schultz (Tim Roth) and the suave mobster Lucky Luciano (Andy Garcia). Determined to defend his Harlem turf against these invaders, Bumpy eclipses the "policy queen" Stephanie St. Clair (Cicely Tyson) and becomes a self-styled Robin Hood figure, attracting the attention of a community servant (Vanessa Williams) who must confront the brutality of Bumpy's business. A must-see for anyone who likes gangster movies, Hoodlum is certainly not a masterpiece, but sharp performances and some powerful scenes make it an interesting look at a little-known chapter in criminal history. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Hoodlum

One of the top films about the gangster's world in the Nineties!
When the renegade gangster Dug Schultz yanks control, Bumpy Johnson decides to join forces with Lucky Luciano in order to exterminate that swagger. The cast is simply excellent and the violence sequences are high order status. Filled of vibrant realism apart of a suggestive narrative line beneath the script that genially supports it and even enriches it through the Opera world. <

>Watch this cast: Laurence Fishburne, Andy Garcia and Tim Roth. Magisterial direction of Bill Duke. <

Superb
This movie, contrary to what others have said, is a great black gangsta film. What draws my attention the most, and makes this such a great film is the dialouge between the characters. This film makes one feel as though they are stepping into the 30's and getting a good glance at life back them. Great script, and excellent acting on the parts of Fishbourne and Tyson. The set was done great, but overall I was most impressed with the interaction between characters. The lives of blacks in Harlem portrayed thru their cultural accent and gift of gab.


a very good movie
larry fishburn is a very good actor who needs additional roles he played in high grossing films such as what is love got to do with higher learning boys in the hood and the matrix at first i thought this movie would suck but after watching for an hour it got better and better da beautiful vanessa williams also stars in this film excellent chemistry between the two they worked very well together this movie took place in harlem, nyc in the 1930s that's what also grained my attention because harlem is one of my favorite places on the planet this also reminds me of scarface because larry starts out broken but
