MCT:July 24, 2008Hoodlum is a film with a sparkling cast. The actors did live up to my expectations, considering what they were given to work with, which was not much. The story in Hoodlum is wrought with cliche, and yet takes itself far too seriously. The directing seems to be a mish mash of styles that don't mesh. Take the closing shot, which attempts to be symbolic, but ends up looking like an afterthought.
Also Both Fishburne and Roth were excellent, as was the entire cast. -
MCT:January 30, 2008I've never even heard of this movie. It's not surprising considering it took me almost 30 years to watch The Godfather.

This was a pretty good movie with a pretty good plot. Tim Roth did a wonderful job as Dutch Shultz and Fishburne shined as Bumpy Johnson.

MCT:June 29, 2007I only watched because it's Andy Garcia. Otherwise, it's not very well executed and probably not worth your time.

I can watch this movie over and over again. Based on 1930's-40's numbers Harlem gangster Bumpy (Ellsworth) Johnson, Laurence Fishburne gives a under rated performace of this character. Also Andy Garcia does a good Lucky Luciano character. This movie is based on true events but after doing research the movie is full of in-accuracys from how Dutch Shultz was killed, to the fictional Love interest character played by actress Vanessa williams. But overall the storyline holds your intersts as well as the action.

MCT:February 27, 2007Four words: I LOVE BUMPY JOHNSON!!! Talk about a misunderstood Black man. You just want to hug him until it is better...even though he killed some folks.

very well done gangster film...made a lot of noise when it was first released in cinemas...didn't quite live up to the hype, but well done nonetheless

Pretty good movie. I loved Laurence Fishburne in it. I can't find it on DVD in WS though which annoys me.
