It's an excuse for the latest crop of media-spawned personalities -- the male equivalent of starlets -- to invade the heavy-duty genre of the gangster film. They don't come up to Cagney's spats.

Mobsters looks like it was made by people who have seen too many gangster films for people who haven't seen any. There isn't a breath of life in the filmmaking.
Peter Rainer, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Slater and Dempsey bring to the film whatever shallow depth Mobsters occasionally exhibits.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
A potboiler in the quick-and-dirty tradition of the B movies of the '30s, it may not win any Oscars or garner rave reviews, but it's consistently entertaining, nevertheless.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
A hollow concept gussied up with a few big names, a pretty set and some fancy clothes.
Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times
