Hoodlum

Hoodlum" recounts the uneasy alliance between the Italian and Jewish mafias who banded together to declare war on the black gangsters of New York's Harlem in the 1920s. Focusing on the relationship between the three rival leaders, "Bumpy" Johnson (Laurence Fishburne, "Fled"), Dutch Schultz (Tim Roth, "Vincent & Theo"), and Lucky Luciano (Andy Garcia, "Just The Ticket"), "Hoodlum," directed by Bill Duke ("A Rage in Harlem") and co-starring Vanessa Williams ("Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man"), Cicely Tyson ("King"), Queen Latifah ("Beauty Shop"), Richard Bradford ("The Mean Season") and William Atherton ("Bio-Dome"), is a compelling tale of gangland violence.
