Brown, USA wrote: This movie tells the story of a group of friends in turn of the century New York, from their early days as street hoods to their rise in the world of organized crime. As their crime empire expands, they have to deal with many problems, including their own differing opinions on how to run their business, the local Godfather, and the psychotic Mad Dog Coll. This movie felt very rushed and it seems the producers were more interested in the action rather than story which is interesting on its own. ´Mobsters´ as a movie captures the ambiance of New York during prohibition very well. Christian Slater as Lucky Luciano, does very well with the part. Richard Grieco as Bugsy Siegel is very good, you can see the genesis of Warren Beatty´s character when he played Siegel in his movie, Bugsy. Overall ´Mobsters´ is good viewing, not exactly historically accurate, but actually sticks closer to the truth than most movies of this type.

Lajos Koltai claimed Somewhat of an excuse to throw together four hot young actors of the moment in a serious environment, Mobsters nonetheless is a decent treatment of the rise of four of the most infamous gangsters of the 20th century. Christian Slater and Patrick Dempsey play Charlie ´Lucky´ Luciano and Meyer Lansky, respectively, best friends since they were kids on the mean streets of New York. When Prohibition hits, these young ambitious hoods--along with Bugsy Siegel (Richard Grieco) and Frank Costello (Costas Mandylor) make their move to take over the rackets, even as it jeopardizes their friendship. Featuring cameos by Anthony Quinn, Michael Gambon, and F. Murray Abraham, Mobsters is a guilty pleasure if a not too serious one. --Robert Lane
