YesAsia Editorial Description

HOODLUM stars Laurence Fishburne in a powerful performance as Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson, the notorious Harlem gangster of the 1930s. Director Bill Duke mixes a sumptuous visual style with a message of black empowerment. Bumpy gets out of prison and goes to work for the Harlem numbers powerhouse known as Madam Queen (Cicely Tyson), bringing him into conflict with the psychopathic Dutch Schultz (Tim Roth), who is trying to take over the numbers racket in Harlem. As the blood flows through Harlem streets, those around Bumpy begin to question his methods-- and his morals.

"...Charging the action is an electric three-prong attack: Laurence Fishburne as magnetic Johnson, Tim Roth as a wonderfully no-class Schultz and Andy Garcia as a cool and cocky Luciano..." -- 3 out of 4 stars - Susan, Wloszczyna (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 08/27/1997

"...Mr. Fishburne is as coolly ruthless as Al Pacino's Michael Corleone in THE GODFATHER....Ms. Tyson is also memorable..." - Stephen, Holden (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 08/27/1997

"...This is Duke's most accomplished job of direction yet. He gets a juicy performance out of Tim Roth..." - Owen, Gleiberman (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 09/05/1997

"...Duke has made a historical drama as much as a thriller..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 08/27/1997
