Power is measured in enemies.
In 1934, the second most lucrative business in New York City was running 'the numbers'. When Madam Queen—the powerful woman who runs the scam in Harlem—is arrested, Ellsworth 'Bumpy' Johnson takes over the business and must resist an invasion from a merciless mobster.

Jonathan Rosenbaum · Chicago Reader 80.00/100.00
Duke is a superb director of actors, and, as in "Deep Cover", Fishburne manages to suggest a lot with a deft economy of means.
TylerDurden 4.00/5.00
算冷门佳作了，历史人物扮相尽量复刻了
Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 75.00/100.00
Duke and his screenwriter, Chris Brancato, don't make Hoodlum into a violent action film, though it has its bloody shoot-outs, but into more of a character study.
