Der Film ist eigentlich ganz in ordnung, Er zeigt Harlem in den 20er Jahren als der Mob um Lucky Lucciano und Meyer Lanksi (Murder INC.) Die New Yorker Unterwelt regierten, nur komisch ich habe noch nie etwas von Schwarzen Mafiosis in dieser Zeit gehört? Lucky Lucciano spilet die Rolle des Lucky Lucciano ganz gut auch ein Lob an Laurence Fishburne
