A self-centered Southerner (Ray McKinnon) turns to his estranged, gay twin for help when he runs into trouble with Italian mobsters.

Duane Byrge

Hollywood Reporter

Filmmaker-actor Ray McKinnon voices his Southern droll in this amusing, feel-good comedy.

Variety

A Southern-fried deadpan farce that suggests a mid-'60s CBS sitcom as reimagined by Hal Hartley.

Austin Chronicle

It's just that the comedy and the drama never quite crystalize into anything remotely affecting, with the end result feeling more like some extended Southern in-joke than an honest movie.

Rated: 1.5/5

Creative Loafing

Arch in a way that his previous feature was honest, it's a clumsy attempt to lay an overcoat of forced cornpone whimsy on a drab storyline involving mobsters.

Rated: 1.5/4

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

...the sort of movie that, if the dice fall right, could find a considerable audience. It is a lot smarter and truer to life than a lot of little independent movies that could and did.

Rated: 89/100

John Beifuss

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

The influences of a strange outside world rub up against -- and sometimes abrade -- Southern tradition and a good ol' boy's increasingly fragile sense of self in this dry, gentle, sometimes silly and sometimes very funny comedy.

Rated: 3/4

I expected this to be much better because Ray McKinnon wrote Rectify. Maybe it's the wrong genre. Or maybe he's gotten better in seven years.

Rather dull until Tino's character appears and the comedy begins.

Randy and the Mob was an interesting movie. I have to admire Ray McKinnon for writing, directing & starring in one film, that can be a lot of work for one person, but it gives the director an unparalleled control over how the film turns out. This film featured the old âdebt-to-the-mobâ? plot arc with a real twist. The name of that twist being Tino Armani. Walton Goggins did a fantastic job as the awkward but multi-talented Tino. His character was certainly an interesting one with his combination of strange mannerisms and righteous deeds. This film managed to deliver some good humour while at the same time sending a message regarding character, pride, intentions and being true to oneself. Overall a decent film.

I love Paul Ben-Victor! It's pretty funny and some of the characters are so far out there it's even funnier.
