Hoodlum Reviews
Probably a fictitious exaggeration of a real life mobster of the 1930's
I think the director, and the costume cookie-cutter, and the scenery co-ordinator all accomplished what they wanted to do with this film, but unfortunately, they fell short of one important thing. This was not a very interesting story.
Everything looks wonderful in this film. This is a very stylish look at the 1930's. Probably too polished to be realistic. But, I'm looking at this film through the eyes of an artist, and an art lover. This film is very colorful and glamourous.
But, as you watch this film, if you are not educationally aware of the actuality of the illegal numbers game of the mobster's of the 1930's, the story itself here, can bore you.
I suppose I'll have to watch it again. And I don't mind watching it again, but I guess I'll really have to pay more attention to the very intricate dialogue that this film depends on.
Just like watching 1968's "Bonnie and Clyde", I enjoy films that really capture the scenery well of the 1930's.
This film does have some annoying editing infractions, but I watch alot of Bollywood (Indian, Hindi) films so bad editing is something that I kinda got use to. It's not overwhelming here, but to see it once, has it stand out in your memory. And like Indian films, I like movies that look really good. Motion Picture Art, visual eye candy. Pretty girls and colorful costumes are very important, too. That's the most important thing about Bollywood films.
"Hoodlum" is definately a piece of art!
a very good movie
larry fishburn is a very good actor who needs additional roles he played in high grossing films such as what is love got to do with higher learning boys in the hood and the matrix at first i thought this movie would suck but after watching for an hour it got better and better da beautiful vanessa williams also stars in this film excellent chemistry between the two they worked very well together this movie took place in harlem, nyc in the 1930s that's what also grained my attention because harlem is one of my favorite places on the planet this also reminds me of scarface because larry starts out broken but
