Hoodlum

...this is a "gangster movie'' in a sense, but it is also about free enterprise, and about how, as the hero says when asked why he didn't go into medicine or law, "I'm a colored man and white folks left me crime.''

As befits any good gangster movie, especially one as conspicuously aware of its ancestors as this one, there are shoot outs, explosions and tense face-offs between convincing tough guys aplenty.
