Charming and brutal

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This movie did not get much screen time and no publicity and so very few people have heard of it. But it is actually a true story. There were these two whack jobs who robbed and humiliated the mafiosi at their recreational clubs. As to be expected, it does not end well for the intrepid pair. How and why anyone would decide to do something as harebrained as hitting on some of the most dangerous felons in the world is a story worth telling and watching.The performances were decent. It was evident that everyone involved in this project thought that it was a movie worth their time and effort.Pick it up if you want something off beat and different.

It's 1991 NYC. Rosie (Nina Arianda) and Tommy Uva (Michael Pitt) are small time stick up armed robbers. They get caught robbing a florist. After 18 months, Rosie is working at debt collecting. He gets released from jail and she gets him a job at the agency. Tommy comes up with an idea to rob mafia social clubs which doesn't allow guns inside and everybody has lots of cash. He has issues with the mob getting rough with his father. Mob boss Big Al (Andy García) doesn't want to kill them with all the heat. Then they hit a joint that is being monitored by FBI Agent Frank Hurd (Frank Whaley).This is a quirky little Bonnie and Clyde story. The acting is pretty good and the story is sort of interesting. The main thing missing is some intensity. Raymond De Felitta doesn't have the intense directing style. He's more of a quirky family drama guy. The couple has a few fun moments. The rest of the movie needs to be either much more funny or much more intense. Part of the problem is the lack of energetic music. This movie should have lots of fun period music. It could be a hilarious comedy or a dark intense period piece. This isn't much of either.

I was not expecting such a good movie and its about time we saw Michael Pitt deliver again. Its a serious mafia movie. Nina Arianda delivers an outstanding performance showing she is certainly destined for some BIG roles in the future together with Michael Pitts gritty realism they show fabulous chemistry. Ray Romano ( great to see him acting away from comedy)supporting with real believable compassion showing he can be much more than a funny man. Great insight into the mafia gelled to a moving tale of true love, Rob the Mob will impress any mafia movie fan looking for action, but it also impresses by generating a soul coupled with a great soundtrack and seasoned direction.

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.
