Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review 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, iMobsters/i is a guilty pleasure if a not too serious one. --iRobert Lane/i

Customer Reviews: great film February 4, 2004 6 out of 6 found this review helpful Great screenplay!pFairly true to what actually happened to Luciano et al. back then. They did start out as street toughs and end up owning New York, at least on the streets.pLuciano was killed because he tried to make a film of his life when the guys said no. Mobsters dvd May 14, 2009 B.Kennon We had to get this from USA,as it is one of my husbands favourite films.it is about four friends who meet as boys and grow up together and look out for each other and grow a Crime family all of there own. Considerably closer than many others October 13, 2006 Ian D. Mackay 4 out of 5 found this review helpful This is a very good film. It mimics the actual events of Lucky, bugsy et al. The fact is most of the events in the film hapened. There is considerable documented evidence to support this (see Wikipedia.com for further reference). Please do not write references of films without knowing what you're talking about. Mobsters? June 23, 2003 2 out of 11 found this review helpful I looked forward to this film as I looked forward to getting home and looking at the first edition of mayfair I bought when I was fourteen. I had high expectations as a combination of my adoration for Christian Slater, and interest in the mafia and Charlie Luciano. I thought the film fell well below par. The thought of four youths befriedng each other when they're about 9, then all becoming top criminals of the country seems a little too far fetched for my liking. Gives good background to the organisation called the mafia and its development in the forties and fifties, but on the whole a less than average film. Obviously the film has a lot of truth but even the quality of acting failed to grab my attention and make me watch. Not the worst June 1, 2007 C. Simpson (Newcastle Upon Tyne UK) It has it's moment's but alot of the facts were left out and a love story that never happened put in... I've read the book that 'Lucky' had wrote instead of the movie he was planning, and it's alot better to read that then watch this movie. The actor's are good I had no complaints there. It's full of action with the likes of Mad Dog on their tail (which again never happened) The death of one of the Don's is wrong too! br /It's time they took the book last testament of Lucky Luciano by Martin A. Gosch (who was the writer Lucky met at the airport when he died of a heart attack in 1962) and Richard Hammer, Now that would be a movie to see!
