capone666 MobstersThe worst part about being a young gangster is that no one takes your ice pick serious until it's too late.Luckily, the nextgen in this action movie have brains and bullets.When a fresh-faced Lucky Luciano (Christian Slater) meets youthful Meyer Lansky (Patrick Dempsey) the two, along with Bugsy Siegel (Richard Grieco) and Frank Costello (Costas Mandylor), make a name for themselves in the bootlegging racket.Over time, the gangster squad seizes control of NYC from the old bosses and divides it between the five main families.But can this new crime regime keep from crumbling under its own infighting?Overly violent and under acted, this loose interpretation of the upper echelon of the underworld's top brass fails to live up to its lofty ambitions.Incidentally, this film reinforces that the only way to get ahead in this world is to mow the older generation down with Tommy guns.Red Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.com

kearanocallaghan Mobsters is a 1991 crime drama film about 4 boys who grow up to be gangsters in 1920-1930 America.The plot of this film is decent I cannot say that it's as good as similar films such as "The Untochables" or "A Bronx Tale" but it is still watchable and plus the fact that it has a good plot.The acting is good as well Michael Gambon plays a right bad bastard in this film and Christian Slater and Costas Mandylor are good as two of the 4 gangsters in this film the acting is top notch.Overall if you like gangster films like "The Untochables" then you will like this because it is based in that same era and has similarity's to it.

Anders_Littorin Strip the Godfather of all it's dignity, it's justified violence, it's psychological analysis of a dysfunctional family through the criminal occurrences and self-imposed soldier like mentality, it's hollow atmosphere and photography - what you get is Mobsters. The acting, or posing rather, is embarrassing from all the lead actors, Anthony Quinn excluded (or pardoned). To say that the subcultural climate is over the top is pure flattery. The Chicago dialect is so poorly imitated and contain so many gaps, it might have passed for a continuancy error. You end up with some kind of morbid Dick Tracy story that is neither funny nor meaningful.

carolynay I really enjoyed watching this movie. Everyone says that the characters were too young, but that's how young Lucky and the guys really were. Christian Slater was actually a couple of years older than Lucky at the time the movie was set. The age of the characters adds to the amazing ability of the kids to "succeed" the way that they did. All in all, the movie was a lot of fun. Even if you don't care for the movie itself, you can definitely appreciate the determination of these four guys and the power and strength of their friendship. The movie is fast paced and fun to watch, so it does a great job of keeping you entertained. It doesn't hurt to have four hot guys with power and guns, either.
