Oscar nominees Laurence Fishburne (1993: Best Actor, What's Love Got To Do With It), Tim Roth (1995: Best Supporting Actor, Rob Roy) and Andy Garcia (1990: Best Supporting Actor, The Godfather Part III) set the screen ablaze in this riveting crime thriller exploding with spectacular gun battles and brutal action. When the kings of the underworld wage all-out war on the city streets, it's mobster vs. mobster in a blistering battle to the death. In 1930s New York, Bumpy Johnson (Fishburne) rules the Harlem numbers racket with a rare combination of honor, dignity and raw strength. But when savage gangster Dutch Schultz (Roth) threatens his reign with a series of bloody attacks, Bumpy knows 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 chieftan Lucky Luciano (Garcia). Pulsating with non-stop action and electrifying suspense, and featuring outstanding performances by Vanessa Williams and the legendary Cicely Tyson, Hoodlum is a thrilling adventure and "a classic gangster movie in all the best ways" (Pittsburgh Post Gazette).
