      But Duke has made a historical drama as much as a thriller, and his characters reflect a time when Harlem seemed poised on the brink of better things, and the despair of the postwar years was not easily seen on its prosperous streets. ( Read More )
    • James Berardinelli

      Unsentimental, non glamorized, and unclouded by the usual overlay of rose colored nostalgia, this is a raw but rewarding motion picture. ( Read More )
    • Marc Savlov

      Roth plays it for all its worth, but even his edgy performance cant save what is essentially another retelling of a generic gangster story thats been told too many times before. ( Read More )

      Hoodlum has them all, and a laundry list is exactly what it feels like.A collection of elements rather than a distinct story, the film takes what should have been a fresh perspective on the genre and paints by numbers. ( Read More )
