Synopsis

Hoodlum (1997) is a crime drama directed by Bill Duke that you can watch online on iFILM. New York City, 1934: the numbers racket is the second-biggest business in Harlem, and Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson — played by Laurence Fishburne — runs it with iron authority.

When Dutch Schultz, a ruthless outsider brought to life by Tim Roth, starts muscling into Bumpy's territory, the two men head toward a collision neither can walk away from. Lucky Luciano, played by Andy Garcia, enters the fray as a force that tips every balance. The street war escalates fast, and Bumpy finds himself gambling with everything he built — and everyone he loves.

Director Bill Duke frames this chapter of real Harlem history as a character study: a proud man choosing between principle and survival in a city that rewards neither. The cast also features Vanessa Williams, Cicely Tyson, and Queen Latifah. Watch Hoodlum (1997) online on iFILM in full HD.
