Bumpy Johnson was a smart man.

《Hoodlum》is a stylish crime drama set in 1930s Harlem during the height of the Great Depression. The film centers on Ellsworth “Bumpy” Johnson, a calculating and ambitious gangster who seeks to take control of Harlem’s underground lottery business from the Italian Mafia. Intelligent, disciplined, and ruthless when necessary, Bumpy uses strategy rather than chaos to build his criminal empire. As tensions rise between rival gangs, violence becomes inevitable, drawing the attention of law enforcement and turning Harlem into a battleground of power, loyalty, and survival. Anchored by a commanding performance from Laurence Fishburne, Hoodlum explores the fine line between crime and community leadership in a world ruled by money and fear. #movieclips #shorts #short #cinematicmoments #movie #iconicscenes #film
