Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

patrick powell If I've got this right, Rob The Mob was marketed as a comedy. Even the title seems to be something of a giveaway. Well, although there are some funny moments, the story of a dumb young couple who really don't seem to have much of a clue about anything and end up paying for their stupidity with their lives, is no comedy. But that is no criticism.Almost every aspect of this film, even the score it uses, is just a little more subtle than at first seems to be the case. The mobsters - the Mafia we can now call them although for years they denied there was any such group - are not caricatured in any way, the FBI is shown doing a serious job, and the tabloid reporter whose beat is covering the Mob takes his job very seriously. None of them is dumb, not even the gangsters who are incredulous when one half of the young couple enters on of their 'social clubs' and robs them. Only the couple are dumb, dumber than even they might think.There are some quite poignant scenes in the film - when the dumb chap tries to give his mother and brother some of his ill-gotten gains to make amends for having let them down so often over the years and neither wants to take it you realise, especially after seeing the mother's bitter reaction that this could never be a comedy. This is most certainly not our standard gangster movie.This film came out in 2014 yet there are only 26 or so user reviews, so I'm assuming it didn't make much of an impact. And that's a shame because it's well worth the ride.Yes, you'll get laughs, but don't expect a comedy, just a small insight into the behaviour of some people, some of whom you would never want to cross. If you get the chance to catch this, do so. You won't regret it.

pabrcf11 An interesting take on the NY Mafia genre! Better than most anything coming out of Hollyweird. I can't quite get the flower symbolism though. Besides flower shops being a constant meme, they've changed Joseph "Big Joey" Massino's name to "Big Al" Fiorello...which means "little flower". That's a lot of flowers refs!A bit of license taken with the story. Tommy wasn't very attractive and the ultimate "greaser" so I doubt he'd call anyone that. Rosie was very non-blonde. They were killed by a Gambino, oddly, and at a street light in Queens, not parked looking at the view. The list was found by the Feds *after* they were shot. No one was indicted until 2005, and then Gambino capo Dominick Pizzonia and soldier Ronald Trucchio were charged with the murders. That's more than dramatic license because the fact that it was the Gambinos, who weren't being robbed, and so publicly when they weren't mafiosi, was all meant to send a message.

Lee Eisenberg I had never heard of Tommy and Rosie Uva before seeing "Rob the Mob", so that makes the story all the more impressive. It's not a great movie - no "Bonnie and Clyde" by any stretch - but still worth seeing. Stealing from mafiosos is the sort of thing that would be fun to do, if incredibly dangerous; imagine stealing from thugs and coming across a list that could put every one of them away! It's not something that I would risk doing, but the movie makes it look as if Tommy Uva enjoyed doing it. He's the type of guy whom you just gotta love. I will admit that most of the mafia characters come across as caricatures (hot-headed wise guys), but that doesn't weaken the movie. I liked it.

zif ofoz Based on a true story this movie will capture your heart and interest as the two lead characters convince themselves they have found the path to easy street.Michael Pitt and Nina Arianda are perfect as the lovers Tommy Uva & Rosie. They struggle & plot and cause a New York sensation with their Rob the Mob plan.This is a delicious story that will keep you on the edge because at any moment a violent act could explode. Thanks to director Raymond De Felitta the story steers clear of gratuitous violence and concentrates on each character and their role in the Gotti trials and the quest to find out just who is doing these robberies.This movie is one you will talk about!!
