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.
