Plot: Somewhat of an excuse to throw together four hot young actors of the moment in a serious environment, Mobsters nonetheless is a decent treatment of the rise of four of the most infamous gangste...( read more read more... )rs of the 20th century. Christian Slater and Patrick Dempsey play Charlie "Lucky" Luciano and Meyer Lansky, respectively, best friends since they were kids on the mean streets of New York. When Prohibition hits, these young ambitious hoods--along with Bugsy Siegel (Richard Grieco) and Frank Costello (Costas Mandylor) make their move to take over the rackets, even as it jeopardizes their friendship. Featuring cameos by Anthony Quinn, Michael Gambon, and F. Murray Abraham, Mobsters is a guilty pleasure if a not too serious one. --Robert Lane

    MObsters was a good movie although it starts alittle slow, some of the facts in the movie are correct.

    It's an ok film. For most of the movie I thought Christian Slater's performance [among others] was lacking, I just didn't buy him playing an italian gangster. Entertaining film though.

    A hysterical attempt by Hollywood to re-invent the classic Gangster genre using three of the hot actors of the period (Slater, Dempsey and Greco) yet I still find myself really enjoying the film. The four actors do a great job carrying the film, and being believable as the young gangsters. Making it easy to overlook the less than factually acurate script.

    One of the worst examples of Hollywood's glossy reinvention of historical events, this brat pack version of The Godfather is quite unpleasant in the way it presents violence and crime as glib fashion accessories. Worth watching only for Michael Gambon, Anthony Quinn and F. Murray Abraham who routinely act the young cast off the screen.

    Not a bad gangster movie, though they're right, all this was in essence was a chance to put four hunkie actors together to draw the female fans out.

    A mob flick with Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey, and Richard Grieco? I'm there. Glad I was. Interesting story, entertaining characters. If you're looking for something brilliant, this probably isn't it, but if you're looking to enjoy some old school young mobster action, then check this out.

    While Mobsters is a likable film, and mildly entertaining, it just isn't very good. It is prohibition for Generation X, starring 4 hot young stars who never made it off the B-list (Dempsey's finally found some success). It does feature a couple of highlight, if over the top, performances by two veteran actors in Anthony Quinn and F. Murray Abraham, but even that isn't enough to make this film worth repeat viewings (although I will admit to having seen it 3 times now). Watch it as pure escapism, but there are probably hundreds better films made about prohibition and the mob.

    Entertaining and it wasn't your typical all star cast in this one. It was good, I liked the story or how it all started out.

    Oops: In real life Mad Dog Cole was gunned down in a cafe. Luciano had nothing to do with it. Also Bugsy Segal hated the name Bugsy and would become violent if someone were to use the nickname.
