Mobsters is a 1991 crime drama film, directed by Michael Karbelnikoff and starring Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey, Richard Grieco, and Costas Mandylor. The story follows the rise of four young men - Lucky Luciano (Christian Slater), Meyer Lansky (Patrick Dempsey), Frank Costello (Costas Mandylor), and Bugsy Siegel (Richard Grieco) - in the New York underworld during the Prohibition era.
The film begins with the four friends as young street hoods in the Lower East Side, trying to make a name for themselves in the criminal underworld. They start by working for local boss Arnold Rothstein (F. Murray Abraham), and soon become involved in bootlegging, gambling, and other illicit activities. As they climb the ranks, they also clash with rival gangs and corrupt police officers, leading to violence and bloodshed.
Throughout the film, we see how the four young men use their wit, charm, and ruthlessness to achieve their goals, and how they form alliances and betray each other to gain more power and influence. We also see how they interact with real-life figures from the era, such as Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Dutch Schultz.
As the story unfolds, we also see how the Prohibition era comes to an end, and how the four friends face new challenges in a changing world. In the end, some of them triumph while others meet violent ends, but they all leave their mark on the history of organized crime in America.
Overall, Mobsters is a gripping and entertaining crime drama, with strong performances from its lead cast and a compelling portrayal of New York's underworld during a pivotal time in its history.
