To me, this movie is perfection.

Simply Perfect

Best movie ever!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

...how can these 2 people be romanticized? they were pond-scum, same or worse then the mob who they robbed from. one reviewer wrote they were like robin hood...haha..all they did was help themselves. they had a subconscious death-wish. how do you think you can keep robbing the mafia and have no repercussions? the glorifying of a crack using couple going off on a crime spree, living in their own fantasy world. less then 1/2 way thru the movie and i was really disliking the couple and was hoping they get a quick demise. Michael Pitt seems to play characters who are really despicable and unlikeable..but thats the sign of a good actor. the female lead was really good too. i'm at a loss of words to describe her. the director had the couple as sweet and lovable..but in my opinion they were despicable and low, worse then most mobsters. thank goodness they got their just ends. a hell of a movie and seriously underrated. the movie kept me engrossed from beginning to end.

1992, small time thugs Thomas and Rosie Uva are tired of knocking over convience stores for peanuts, so one night they come up with an idea, a crazy idea. While scouting locations, Thomas accidentally stumbled upon a mafia owned bar and realized, there's a whole lot of money there and not much protection. For the next year, the duo ripped off the mob without consequence, until they took something that made them both the biggest targets in New York. This is another unbelievably true story, that has been brought to the big screen and the public eye, because of our on-going fascination with organized crime. Mafia movies do so well at the box office, that writers are scrambling to find any story they can turn into a film and it's the audience that has benefited the most. Some people say these movies glorify crime, and maybe they do, but to me, anything Mafia related is just fascinating. Watching these films and hearing these stories, you think how could that have happened? Then you go to Wikipedia and find out it's all true! Rob The Mob is the latest in a bunch of these little known Mafia stories to hit the big screen and it does not disappoint. Who plays a Mafia don better than Andy Garcia? Add to that the intense, Michael Pitt, straight off a successful run in Boardwalk Empire, and you have the makings of a terrific cast. The bottom line, Rob The Mob isn't Goodfellas, but it's a hell of a story, with a cast that's experienced in these types of films. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a Mafia movie, but if your like me, that doesn't matter much, it's the story and personalities that you're really interested in.

I didn't expect this to be one of those films that I didn't want to end. Despite the brilliant plan to take from those who took from the community, including your own family, studying and planning with (i.e. knowledge of the'No Guns,' code, inability to call the cops) and the 'brass' it took to pull off - the camera work, editing and production put it over the top. In what could have been a decent film, based on the story and script alone, which is incredibly well-written by Jonathan Fernandez, the character depth and the music/visuals - is what makes this film so captivating. Besides the amazing performances of main characters Michael Pitt (one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood,) and Nina Arianda (as Tommy and Rosie Aka 'Bonnie and Clyde,') the film also looks through opposing views while developing supporting characters through great acting in the mob (by Andy Garcia aka Big Al) the Press (Ray Romano) and Feds. It is very impressive in providing great actors, through a brilliant casting job,all the way throughout. I really can't say enough about the job of translating the writing director Raymond De Felitta did - especially in the final scene. The way he chose to show the outcome (the snow globe, glass, and music,) tied it all together, almost indescribably. Despite the content and basic plot of this film, it dives much deeper, culminating into one single message thats repeatedly spoken, inferred, and felt : LOVE. It is a beautifully unexpected message that the film gives to viewers and is deeply refreshing compared to many other films today, which rely on superficial looks at the cast and action rather than taking the time to develop the characters, use different viewpoints, and includes actual flashback footage into the real NYC of the early '90's to make us feel as if we're actually there with them.Viewers will not be disappointed in the film, which deservedly received a 10/10 from me - for being less like something viewers are simply'watching,' - and more like you've also entered their beautiful "Dream."

Only the fact that it was a true story enabled me to sit through the endless make-out scenes between 2 of the weakest characters around. I never felt any connection with either of them. In fact, although anyone could figure out what the ending was (dire), it was even hard to work up any sympathy. Maybe I missed the part that explained the reasoning behind doing something so idiotic, other than seeing his dad get beat for non- payment of a debt? If you think you'd enjoy watching 2 adults taunt an alligator or tiger, go ahead...get comfy & prepare to be enthralled.Also, who was responsible for Big Al's appearance? he seemed more like a Rabbi than the top dog of the Mafia. I kept waiting for him to start singing "If I were a rich man" and start dancing the Hora.
